They talk about gluten, what it is and where it's found, differences between gluten sensitivity and coeliac disease, and how a sensitivity is diagnosed. The conversation explores the gut-brain connection, highlighting how stress can affect your gut and alter perceptions of normal digestive processes. They talk about a group of complex carbohydrates called FODMAPs, or fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharide and polyols that can cause gut disruption and digestive health problems for some people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or even Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). They discuss nutritional implications of going gluten free, or not and what people can do to try and improve their nutrition related health and wellbeing. They encourage people experiencing health anxiety to discuss it with their doctor and mention the online programs addressing it from THis Way Up. Lastly, they mention the research A/Prof Jess is doing, including an online study open to eligible people living anywhere in Australia or the USA with IBD .

In this #NutritionScienceBites episode I talk with Ilyse Jones about whether 'acid' food is a thing - or not! We covers what a pH level is, what acidity and alkalinity are in relation to foods, plus how the body metabolises food and makes pH adjustments so that blood pH is regulated within a very narrow range. We discuss Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL), a score that estimates the amount of acid a food produces within the body after digestion and in response to filtering processes in the kidneys. While food pH may not impact your health or blood pH, the body's regulatory mechanisms are crucial for maintaining optimal pH levels and kidney health and overall health and wellbeing.Key takeaways1. The pH of food is not crucial for health.2. Blood pH is tightly regulated between 7.3 to 7.45.3. The body has mechanisms to regulate and maintain pH levels.4. Extreme pH changes can be life-threatening.5. The impact of food choices on pH is often overstated.6. Understanding kidney pH can help in making informed dietary choices.7. Health is more about balance than specific pH levels.For more information about kidney health, check out the Kidney Health Australia website: https://kidney.org.au/To access the Healthy Eating Quiz: Click on the top right hand 'green button' called 'How healthy is my diet' https://nomoneynotime.com.au/Want a more Personalised Food, Nutrient Assessment Report?
