Even if you haven’t heard that term before, you probably guessed right: period poos are those uncomfortable, runny poos that happen at the same time as your period. As if one fluid coming out of our body wasn’t enough! In this episode, I am joined by the amazing Chelsea McCallum to talk about all things period poos and IBS. It’s no coincidence that our poo consistency and bathroom urgency happens at the same time as our period and Chelsea is here to explain why. After her personal experience with IBS, Chelsea has incredible knowledge on gut health, IBS, and how the two impact our menstrual cycle. Today, Chelsea has clients around the world that she helps navigate their experience living with IBS. From her own experience and her education as an online dietitian, Chelsea is changing so many IBS sufferers’ lives for the better. In this conversation, Chelsea shares her tips, tricks, and advice for people who have IBS, gut health issues, or just want to get a better understanding of those pesky period poos. She talks about what IBS is, how to identify the signs of IBS, why period poos happen, cyclical eating tips for a healthy gut, what the differences are between prebiotics and probiotics, how to begin taking care of your gut, and so much more.
