I am still pinching myself that I have hit 50,000 followers on TikTok. What started as a fun account sharing my IBS and wellness tips has turned into something I never imagined. I have so much gratitude for the platform, as it motivated me to get back into blogging and even move into the YouTube space. I reached out to three of my favorite IBS brands and they happily offered some giveaway items for all my IBS followers.

As someone who has struggled with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for eight years, it is no surprise that I have had my share of the Low-FODMAP Diet. What most people (and by most, I mean me) fail to realize is that the diet is a temporary elimination diet followed by a reintroduction phase.

FODZYME is a next-gen digestive enzyme that targets the FODMAPs fructan, lactose, and GOS/galactans.

I have spoken in great length about my experience with gallbladder attacks being simply diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It’s tricky to diagnose, because while I do have IBS, one of my root causes has been gallbladder sludge. When I ate garlic and onion I looked nine months pregnant, yet if I ate too much fat I would go (into what I know now to be) a gallbladder attack.
