If you’ve ever been told to “just go gluten-free” or “take a probiotic” to fix your IBS, you know how frustrating it is when those quick fixes don’t actually solve the problem.

In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, I’m joined by Jillian Smith, RDN, a registered dietitian who spent over a decade navigating her own IBS journey before helping thousands of clients uncover the real root causes behind their gut symptoms.

Jillian and I dive into:

Why common IBS advice like cutting gluten or popping probiotics often doesn’t work long-term
The most common root causes of IBS she sees in her practice (and why they’re often missed)
How gut testing, diet, lifestyle, and supplements can be personalized for lasting relief
Jillian’s personal story of going from years of frustration to finally feeling well in her body

If you’ve been searching for answers to your bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or unpredictable digestion, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what’s really driving your symptoms, and what to do about it.
