Almonds are a great source of protein and fibre, and can be eaten by many people with IBS.

AddIng 30 grams of nuts per day has been shown to improve heart health, and they're a good source of protein too.

If you're following the low FODMAP diet then 20 almonds per sitting is within the guidelines.

Do you eat nuts?

You’re probably well aware that constipation helps normally starts with ‘eat more fibre’.

And yes, increasing fibre really definitely does help some people. (It’s certainly somewhere I’d start with if you occasionally have constipation, or you haven’t yet worked on your diet.)

But, if you’re already eating a really high-fibre diet and you’re still constipated, adding even more fibre might not be helping. And it could even make things worse.

And if you’ve got something like pelvic floor dysfunction, adhesions or a motility problem slowing the passage through your gut, more fibre isn’t necessarily going to make things move faster.

So before you add another handful of bran to your breakfast think about whether you need more fibre, or a different approach to eating.

If you are struggling to know what could be causing your constipation then listen to the first of my 4x part constipation series of Inside knowledge for people with IBS.

Whats your number? As an IBS nutritionist, I see people eating an extreme range of zero fruit and veg , and at the other end of the scale eating too much fibre.

A portion is roughly 80g, like a handful of chopped carrots or one apple.

For some people with IBS it's more about the TYPE of gibre rather than how much.

Have you ever done a gut transit time check? Testing how long food takes to come through your digestion can be enlightening.

Some people find they poo every day, but it takes 3-4 days for food to come out. So you might think you can’t be constipated because you’re going each day, but when the passage is so slow it can lead to fermentation, bloating and feeling sluggish.

Other people I work with are surprised that they have a relatively normal transit time when they felt food would be stuck inside them for days and days.
