I have IBS and most foods seem to set it off. I was wondering if anyone experience less IBS outbreaks since switching to Huel? ---

Sorry didn’t know it was a crime asking a question. Huel linked me to a thread before buying it but there was 4 responses, if you cannot post something helpful please don’t respond. ---

Hello, couple of links below if it’s a help. On a personal note I was diagnosed IBS in '94 when it was pretty much a broad-brush term and I suspect mine was stress related. I have not suffered for some time (touching wood as I type) and certainly nothing whilst on Huel. All the best. > [@IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)](https://discuss.huel.com/t/ibs-irritable-bowel-syndrome/83): > > Hi, heard item on R4 ‘You & Yours’ and have placed an order (despite name like Gruel and sounds like spewing!). I’m sure you have to be careful not to make medical claims but can you say anything about IBS? What is the fibre from? It’s not a major problem but I’m definitely better without bread and milk. Don’t want to sound rude but the website could do with typo proof reading! Many thanks, Rob. > [@Four Weeks In. No Complaints.

I’m having 3 Huel Meals a day, and a couple days a week I have 1 ‘regular’ meal, either at home or when eating out. I’ve lost a total of 16lbs (5lbs, 5lbs, 2lbs, 4lbs) using MyFitnessPal to log my meals, and make me more aware of what I’m consuming when not having Huel and monitoring my snacks. I also have a Jawbone fitness tracker to monitor activites and earn some calories back. Never hungry and feel great. No extra energy, but definitely no lack of it… > [@Huel and IBD crohnsandcolitis.com](https://discuss.huel.com/t/huel-and-ibd-crohnsandcolitis-com/1764): > > I was recently diagnosed with IBD. Effectively this means I have a mix of Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis. Which makes it hard for me to digest certain foods and get nutrients from foods I can digest when it passes through my intestines. Have any people with a similar diagnosis tried Huel? Any considerations? Currently I mostly avoid fibre and green leafy veg. ---

My response was very helpful. I directed you to a wealth of information. Don’t be snarky, or misinterpret my tone. If you cannot post something nice please don’t respond. Be friendly; it is contagious. 😉 ---

@Izrador Don’t worry about it. Please don’t let Ric scare you off. Welcome to the forum. 🙂 It’s just that as this forum is starting to get popular, we’re trying to avoid having many separate threads all for the same topics. Asking questions is no problem, it’s just best to get into the habit of searching first.[quote=“Izrador, post:3, topic:2611”] if you cannot post something helpful please don’t respond. [/quote] He did post something helpful. He posted a link to the FAQ which has lots of information, including about IBS. But I can understand how you may have thought he was being a unwelcoming. > [@Ric](#): > > If you cannot post something nice please don’t respond Is there an echo in here? > [@Ric](#): > > Be friendly; it is contagious. You’re looking lovely today, Ric. Is that a new outfit? 😃 ---

Thank you for this. Mine is stress and food related. I am not 100% sure of all the foods which are triggering it sadly. Glad yours hasn’t played up. ---

I have IBS, which (in the last year) has completely dominated my life. Some days it just seemed easier not to eat at all than have to put up with the problems. I’m awaiting a Sehcat scan to find out what’s going on with my bile acid. I’m also being referred to a nutritionist for an exclusion diet. In the meantime, I’ve switched completely to Huel, as this is the only way I can guarantee that I can go out without accidents and still meet all my nutritional needs.
