We all know stress can impact digestion, but what about anger, or feeling embarrassed. This week's episode is a little different, a run through common negative emotions and how they might be interacting with your IBS.

• How do fear, anger, shame and low mood affect IBS?
• What is alexithymia and how could it affect IBS?
• Support for dealing with difficult emotions

Sending you support if this episode feels relevant to you. :)

What's the best alcohol to drink when you have IBS? Unfortunately there isn't really a perfect drink (as you'll hear in this episode) but I do cover some possible options for you.

I'll also share

• What alcohol does to your digestion (and how this affects IBS)
• What drinks to stay away from as they tend to trigger IBS worse
• What are the guidelines for alcohol per week (BTW - it's less than you think)

PS - if you want my *FREE* mocktails recipes then DM me on Instagram the word MOCKTAILS and I'll send you a download with 10 recipes for alcohol free drinks you can look forward to. I'm at www.instagram.com/goodnessme_nutrition

We naturally make enzymes as part of digestion to break down fats, carbohydrates and protein. If you’re not producing enough of certain enzymes then it could be contributing to bloating and gas build up.

In this episode of the Inside Knowledge podcast I’ll talk through

• the different types of digestive enzymes we make,
• why you might be low in them,
• options are for improving the way you break down your food.
