I recently spoke with IBS educator Joe Leech (of Diet vs Disease) about why so many people stay stuck for years with gut symptoms despite trying "everything." +

A big topic was how easy it is for IBS management to turn into confusion, restriction, and fear around food, especially when people are piecing together advice from social media, influencers, and conflicting nutrition content.

One thing I found interesting was the discussion around moving away from the “just eliminate more foods” mindset. Check out the article. He has a Free video to watch, which is included in the interview. It does lead to a sales funnel for
his program. We spoke to several people who have gone through his program, and they found it life-changing. There are some customer quotes in the article, too. Just bringing you some info, if you are interested.

I know mnay of you have been frustrated at times when I point out that using "safe" and "unsafe" to describe FODMAPs is not only unhelpful, but can be damaging. MONASH just made this post+

" Why it’s time to "retire" the word "safe"

Using the right language for the FODMAP diet can be important, which is why we want to talk about the use of the word ‘safe’ when referring to FODMAPs!

 In the world of food science, the word "safe" is usually reserved for food safety. Think: Is this milk pasteurised? Is this chicken cooked through? Is this flour free from contaminants?
When we use "safe" to describe FODMAPs, it can cause unnecessary fear, implying that high FODMAP foods are "dangerous" or "toxic." In reality, high FODMAP foods are often very healthy - they just happen to trigger symptoms for those with IBS.

 High FODMAP ≠ Unsafe 
Low FODMAP is a sensitivity issue, not an allergy or a poisoning.
An apple isn't "unsafe."
A clove of garlic isn't "toxic."
They are simply High FODMAP.

 "Safe" is not a synonym for "Low" 
Using the word "safe" can be misleading because FODMAP tolerance is a spectrum. By using the correct terminology - Low, Moderate, or High FODMAP - we give you the tools to find your personal threshold rather than labelling foods as "good" or "bad."

 The takeaway: Let's keep "safe" for the fridge temperature and use "Low FODMAP" for our plates! "

The other is often dose-dependent and tied to digestion, which is exactly where approaches like the low FODMAP diet come in.

If you are navigating IBS or trying low FODMAP, understanding this distinction is essential. Getting it wrong can lead to unnecessary restriction, frustration, and missing the real triggers. This article, written by a Monash-trained dietitian, walks you through the differences so you can better understand your body and make informed choices.
