I’m very interested in giving Huel a try but because I have IBS and food intolerances I’d be interested in other people’s experiences. I have autoimmune thyroid disease which means I’m profoundly intolerant of gluten, dairy and soya. I’ve tried other gluten, dairy and soya complete meals and had really bad IBS symptoms, probably because they all contained Inulin. However, there’s no guarantee that it’s that causing the problem (I wish I had a pound for every time I’ve thought removing something from my diet would make a difference). I’d be really interested to hear what experiences other IBS sufferers have had with Huel.
Hi @Jeano. I suffer from IBS (thankfully not the diarrhoea one) and have been fine with Huel powder as it’s FODMAP free. I can also eat Huel granola, bars and RTD in strict moderation as there is some chicory root powder involved. I am very intolerant of onions and garlic and can suffer for days afterwards if I ingest them. Sadly there are many products out there that contain one or both so I tend to make meals from scratch. Garlic infused olive oil is ok, as is asafoetida and I make my own FODMAP free curry powder to stay on the safe side.
Hi I suffer terrible with IBS
And to be 100% honest with you… my symptoms have all buggared off since I’ve started huel!!
I used to wake up on a morning or in the night with an aching stomach and couldn’t get comfy no matter how I slept. Now I dont have that. My bloat has gone as well. My toilet habits are much better. I’m not running for the loo like I used to.
