    IBS Chat Episode 14: How Ernie Molina developed IBS after antibiotics and how Mary Molina helped him with Lola Snacks bars

    Ernie Molina is someone who developed IBS after a being placed on antibiotic therapy by his dentist for 6 months after dental implants. His dentist felt that Ernie’s gut discomfort could be managed by eating yogurt. This did not work for Ernie. Before the dental work, Ernie described his health as good and enjoyed a wide variety of foods. This all changed following the antibiotics. Fortunately Ernie’s wife Mary had developed a bar which had few ingredients due to their daughter Lola needing a gentle snack food. When probiotics were added to the bar, Ernie began to return to a normal life. That’s when the Lola Snacks Probiotic Energy Bar took off. In my conversation with Ernie and Mary Molina, Ernie tells his story when and how he was diagnosed with IBS and how he felt after eating the Lola Snacks bars. Mary shares details about how the bar was developed and plans for the future including wide distribution of the bar and an interest in a research clinical trial to understand why Lola Snacks bars eased Ernie’s IBS symptoms.

    IBS Chat Episode 12: What I Wish Someone had Told me About IBS with Johannah Ruddy MEd

    Johannah Ruddy MEd, is the Executive Director of the ROME Foundation and a patient advocate. Johannah works to provide the patient perspective to everything that she does. She recently co-wrote and published the book Gut Feelings: Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction which is a guide for patients and doctors. Johannah and I got together to discuss our own experiences related to “What I Wish Someone had Told me About IBS”. We discuss how patients aren’t alone and how you can gain information from others. We believe that the stigma about talking about IBS might be decreased if people were more open about suffering with it. Not everyone has the answers so it’s important to leverage your relationship with your doctor and to question treatment options. Be positive things will get better!

    IBS Chat Episode 10: Grace Whittle is an IBS patient who manages her symptoms with the low FODMAP diet and with help from her fiancée

    Grace Whittle first started having digestive symptoms that felt like daily food poisoning when she was 23 years old. Fortunately her fiancée, Aonghus Shortt, was a mechanical engineer and invented a device, the AIRE (available from FoodMarble.com), to help measure the amount of hydrogen in your breath, which is how you analyze foods that contain FODMAP. A low FODMAP diet is recommended to patients with IBS to reduce symptoms caused by fermentable sugars in foods. The term FODMAP is an acronym for the different sugars. With Aonghus' device, Grace learned that she could eat some foods which she was not sure she could eat; however a diet in FODMAP wasn’t the only answer for Grace’s symptoms. Grace was fortunate to work with doctors that took her symptoms seriously. Her experience in coping with IBS definitely helped to give her confidence. She believes that you will find a solution but it won’t look like anyone else’s solution. Grace is also fortunate to have a very supportive and empathetic partner in Aonghus and for him to invent a device that would help solve her problems.
