In this episode of Gut Health Dialogues, we dive into the client journey of Diana Hough, a 70-year-old who spent 20 years battling what she thought was irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

After undergoing countless tests and experiencing constant setbacks, including missing out on her granddaughter’s wedding, Diana found herself at a crossroads—struggling with chronic diarrhea, debilitating anxiety, and unexpected health issues post-gallbladder removal.

Her story unfolds with raw honesty as she describes how her symptoms, including brain fog and body aches, went beyond digestive discomfort.

After years of uncertainty, Diana turned to a functional approach and discovered the root of her issues: hydrogen sulfide overgrowth in her gut. Through a mix of dietary changes, targeted probiotics, and patience, she regained control of her life, feeling "normal" for the first time in decades.

Tune in to hear how Diana’s journey can inspire your own, offering hope for those who’ve hit dead ends in traditional medicine. This conversation is more than a testimonial—it’s proof that gut health can be restored and vitality regained.

Ever wonder why you might feel worse on a low-FODMAP diet? Or do you find yourself reaching for anti-allergy pills more often? Histamine intolerance could be the culprit. And I’m sharing some red-flag symptoms to look out for, along with practical tips on how to adjust your diet if histamine is tripping you up.

From decoding what exactly histamine is to how it sneaks into our food (fermented foods, aged cheeses, even kombucha—yes, kombucha!), I’m here to guide you through it all.

And don’t worry, I’m also sharing what you CAN eat while managing histamine intolerance, so you’re not left feeling deprived. Plus, I’ll walk you through how to test if histamine intolerance is what’s going on with your body.
