How can this event help me?

Creating sustainable nutrition habits can meaningfully improve your gut health, especially when you’re living with a chronic condition. For people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and altered bowel patterns can feel unpredictable and disruptive. The good news is that evidence based dietary strategies can help you better understand your triggers and feel more confident around food.

In this live online event, Dietitian Monica Kubizniak will explore practical, research informed approaches to managing IBS through nutrition. This session is designed for anyone seeking clear, balanced guidance on what to eat, what to modify, and how to build a way of eating that supports both gut health and overall wellbeing.

Join Monica for a practical discussion covering:

Understanding IBS and the gut
Monica will explain what IBS is, how the gut–brain axis influences symptoms, and why factors such as stress, sleep and eating patterns all play a role. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what is happening in the digestive system and why symptoms can fluctuate.
The role of FODMAPs and other dietary triggers
Learn how fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) can contribute to symptoms in some people, and how a structured, temporary low FODMAP approach may help identify individual triggers. Monica will clarify common misconceptions and outline when this strategy is appropriate.
Personalising your nutrition plan
Rather than removing large groups of foods long term, discover how to reintroduce foods systematically to build the most varied and enjoyable diet possible. Monica will discuss how to tailor recommendations to your preferences, lifestyle and cultural food choices.
Supporting gut health beyond restriction
Explore the importance of fibre diversity, hydration, regular meals and mindful eating in calming the gut. Monica will also discuss the role of probiotics, prebiotics and emerging research in IBS management.
Managing IBS alongside other chronic conditions
For those balancing IBS with inflammatory arthritis, osteoporosis or other rheumatic conditions, Monica will share practical strategies to ensure your diet supports both digestive comfort and broader health needs.

Join us on Wednesday, June 10th at 8:00 PM AEST for this informative live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussion to help make this a practical and supportive experience for everyone.
