• • Don’t use past negative experiences with doctors and nutritionists to infer what this experience will be like. ModifyHealth is welcoming, supportive, and helpful in every way. There’s very little to be anxious about, this is coming from an extremely anxious person.
   
  How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program?

   

  • Before the program, my GI issues affected my school, sports, and personal life greatly. I had to base my schedule everyday on how long I might be in the bathroom. I either had to get in trouble at guard for being in the bathroom too long or choose to hurt during practice. Most of the time, I decided not to eat until my day was done or I had a couple hours before my next activity.
  •  
  What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life?

   

  Most of those problems are completely gone. My stomach aches are manageable if even existent now. I’m never in the bathroom for an unusual amount of time. I feel lighter, better, and healthier.

  • My specific instructor, Nikki, was the most helpful instructor I have ever had. She made this experience less scary, easy to understand, and enjoyable. She was an amazing listener and always gave me the tools I needed to improve.

• • I would highly recommend this to anyone with GI issues. This food is an answer for anyone who struggles with portion control or wants to eat clean and healthy without the hassle of meal planning and shopping. My health has greatly improved in the last few months and I believe I have escaped type two diabetes because of this Low FODMAP diet. The food is tasty and satisfying. I never feel deprived or hungry.
   
  How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program?

   

  • I was eating the same foods everyday and my doctor recommended I expand my food selection and eat more fiber, but I had such a “love-hate” relationship with food all my life and never knew what would cause pain and bathroom issues. Frankly, I had nearly given up. It took a few weeks, but now my life is soooo much better. I only wish I had had this food service several years ago.

  • It is not easy to give up all those other foods, not at all, but ModifyHealth really helps. I now know that if I just eat these and nothing else I will not get sick. And yes it is very tempting to eat other foods but the price to pay in pain and discomfort is high. I hope you find a way to be pain free and GI trouble free. This is definitely a good start.

• • You won’t regret your decision to try ModifyHealth. I had the hardest time coming to grips with my IBS and coming up with meals everyday, but ModifyHealth had taken all that worry away. I’ve been using it for 4 months now and it’s changed my life completely. I no longer have serious bouts of IBS and I’ve even lost 10 lbs. I can actually remember what it’s like to feel normal again.
   
  How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program?

   

  • Before beginning ModifyHealth I would have embarrassing bouts of gas everyday, would be bloated to the point it looked like I was five months pregnant, and would even vomit on occasion. All of that has now gone away.

• It is definitely worth doing the package with the dietitian support - makes a huge difference to getting elimination and re-introduction phases work. I couldn't imagine doing this either without the pre-made meals - it was a great way to be introduced to eating fodmap free in a hassle-free way (I have 3 kids so don't have time for new diet cooking!)

Nope - just thanks

• It is well worth your time and money to try this service out. The meals are well-balanced and make it easy to adhere to what can be a very difficult and confusing diet. I would recommend that you sign up for the added option of the dietitian consult. Having a dietitian I could talk to at any point along the journey was an absolute game changer for me and well worth the extra money.

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? I missed out on social activities, had to take time off of work and my mental health suffered before I found ModifyHealth.

Prior to finding ModifyHealth, I had tried for years to figure out what was happening to my body. I tried a variety of approaches to eliminating foods I thought I couldn't tolerate without lasting success. I found out about the low FODMAP diet through a medical colleague and attempted to navigate the diet on my own for a few months, but was unsuccessful. I then found a different company that provided low FODMAP meals, but did not offer the option of working with a dietician. With the help of that company, I did manage to get some of my symptoms under control, but I had no one to systematically and properly guide me through the reintroduction phase, which hindered my ability to complete the process of discovering the FODMAPs I can and cannot tolerate. After several attempts at doing this on my own with my own research to guide me, I almost gave up and decided I would just have to deal with being in pain all the time. As a last-ditch effort, I googled "low FODMAP meal delivery" and found ModifyHealth. I decided to try it because of the option to work with a dietitian and it made all the difference for me. My dietitian, Christine, listened to my story, explained the basis of the low FODMAP diet, checked in with me on a regular basis, walked me through the entire reintroduction process, helped me understand my results and sent me multiple resources to help me transition into a diet that will work for me moving forward. I owe this program and Christine more thanks than I can express and would recommend this service to anyone dealing with IBS symptoms who is struggling to go through the process. This company, the food they provide, and the program they offer have given me my life back! Thank you, ModifyHealth!!!

• This made my life so much easier while trying to eliminate high FODMAP foods from my diet and then reintroducing them one at at time. I was able to rest easy knowing that my daily lunch and dinners were going to be safe for me to eat without any discomfort and I was able to really learn what FODMAPs caused me the most abdominal distress.

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? I was extremely uncomfortable during my work day as well as when I worked out. I would get these terrible pains and it would completely immobilize me for short periods of time. I had no idea what the cause was so after a series of tests (blood, breath, etc) it was recommended I look into the low FODMAP "diet" and ModifyHealth was the first thing I signed up for.

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? My stress level has decreased immensely especially because I don't cook well. I already have my meals planned out for me so I worry less about what I will eat and will it cause me discomfort. I work out now without the cramping and am learning so much about different foods and how they effect peoples digestion process.

In 2008, I lost 110lbs on Weight Watchers. Since then, I have always lived with a "weight watcher" mentality that all fruits and vegetables are zero points and you can eat as much as you want of them until you are full. Never did I think that foods I considered healthy would cause me so much discomfort. I had to reshape my thinking throughout this entire process and realized that even healthy foods can cause stomach trouble. I have been able to maintain my weight loss since 2008 and still while enjoying the delicious meals prepared by ModifyHealth!

• This company was a God-send! Having a fructose and lactose intolerance for years has been so overwhelming. It is so hard to find good, filling foods without GI irritants. I used to just deal with the pain/discomfort and assumed that is just my norm. I have no pain and discomfort after eating these meals, and I feel so full! I am a huge fan and so grateful for this company. And the customer service rocks!

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life?

• I don't have to stress about preparing foods that will agree with my body. I have delicious, filling meals ready to go. And the best part is that I have zero pain and discomfort after eating. I truly forgot what that felt like.

• I have found ModifyHealth to be the answer. I am educated in nutrition and have been diligent in providing for myself a balanced life. I only recently started to understand and learn the particulars of how to actually tailor a diet to be low FODMAP and put that in practice. I am 62 and low FODMAP diets are relatively new and pretty complicated to discern from a mere list of foods. ModifyHealth takes all the complexity out of the equation, provides a ready to eat organic fresh delicious low FODMAP meals no fuss no muss. I have seen first hand the positive impact immediately. I believe in a wholistic approach to healing. ModifyHealth meals have given me back the ability to eat hearty and head towards feeling great. I have even seen relief of nerve pain, headaches and sinus irritation. I am grateful! ModifyHealth has greatly improved the day to day quality of my life.

• Just do it. You won't regret it.

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? Once my symptoms started I had just had my daughter and she was a couple months old. There were a few times where my symptoms were so bad I had to lay in bed and couldn't move due to the nausea. Even on days my symptoms weren't that bad I just still didn't feel right and my wife noticed I just seemed down and different. There were also a few times where I had to leave work early because I felt so sick.

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? After I started ModifyHealth I noticed a change immediately. After eating just those meals the first two days I could tell instantly I felt better. All around I feel better and I stopped taking the anti-depressants my doctor put me on because I didn't feel I needed them anymore. I also wanted to get accurate results when I started adding foods back in to see which caused my symptoms to flare up. I love that I didn't have to worry about going places or doing things away from home in fear of having to get back home to go to the bathroom.

If you have been told you have IBS and you have to figure out what causes your symptoms then you have to use ModifyHealth meals to get you started in the right direction because I know first hand trying to do all of it yourself is over-whelming especially when you don't feel good as it is.

• I was bloated (more than normal) w/terrible gas for a year until I started this diet. I tried to make balanced low fodmap meals but I always found it difficult to stick with basics so I messed up once a day which ruined everything. I also don't have time to worry about what Im eating, so these delicious meals are a godsend. Im now gas and bloat free (after 1 week of meals that happened).
