Living with IBS-D can feel overwhelming—constant diarrhea, fear of eating out, and frustration with treatments that don’t work. But real relief is possible.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Michelle, a past client who struggled with post-COVID IBS-D, unpredictable symptoms, and doctors who only offered temporary fixes. She shares how she finally:

✔️ Identified her true food trigger

✔️ Stopped unnecessary supplements that worsened her symptoms

✔️ Rebuilt her gut health and stopped living in fear of food

✔️ Regained control of her symptoms and can now travel without stress

If you’ve been struggling with IBS-D and feel stuck, this episode is for you. Michelle’s journey proves that a strategic, personalized approach is the key to lasting relief.
