Hi! My name is Inna and I am a Russian girl who lives in the UK. I have a strong case of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). By now I have more or less succeeded in keeping this syndrome under control but it has not been an easy journey. For several years I was experiencing constant abdominal pain and stomach cramps, countless doctor’s appointments, trial and error with different medicines. 

 

I still often struggle, but I overall feel much better now that I have started following the low FODMAP diet (having monitored my progress with a dietitian for a few months). People who know about my delicate gut often ask me how I manage to have an active lifestyle, frequently travel abroad, and generally feel well despite a number of food restrictions with my diet. I gladly share my experience with them and I would also love to share my journey with you. Please read my blog for recipes, eating out and travel tips while following the low FODMAP diet and follow me on Instagram.

 

My first blog post tells a more detailed story about my IBS, the symptoms I was experiencing and talks about an amusing comedy film that introduced me to the term IBS (read the blog post here).
