• • 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.

• • If you stay strictly with these meals you will eliminate your GI problems. The Low-FODMAP meals are safe and will keep your tummy pain free. The variety is good and it is tasty and easy.
   
  How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program?

   

  • There were many days when I was up all night and it still happens when I eat anything but these meals. ModifyHealth has really identified what makes me sick and these meals are a solution. I have had to miss days at the office and many other activities before. Now as long as I stick to these meals I am ok.
  •  
  What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life?

   

  When I stick to only these meals I am free of pain and having to travel with a bathroom.

  • 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.

• 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. I was trying to follow a low FODMAP diet on my own, but kept making small mistakes that would ultimately lead to days and weeks of pain that repeatedly disrupted my day to day life.

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? I am much happier, feel healthier, and feel much more in control and more knowledgeable about how to take care of myself and how to handle my GI system. I am able to plan social activities without fear of my symptoms derailing my plans and have not had to take any time off of work because of my health.

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!

• 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).

I am SO appreciative that you exist. Especially now, it so happens, with Covid.

I have had GI issues for a good 15 years. Up and down. From reasonably ok to bed ridden for months. My last issue had me in bed for 2 weeks. Could barely eat. I was told about ModifyHealth and already understood a lot about the Low FODMAP diet. But being able to not only order fresh meals shipped to my house, but to be able to work with a GI dietitian, Christine, I have gone from massively bloated and burping nonstop to having a flat stomach and nearly no gas within 2-3 weeks time! I’ve missed out on SO many kids sports, events, parties, family birthdays, i couldn’t even count. We have an Ohio State vs Michigan party every year at this time for the big football game. Many years we have cancelled it or just not even planned it. This year i was fully able to plan the party and have all of our friends and family over for it! ModifyHealth has truly been a life changer/saver for me. Absolutely priceless!

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? I was affected a lot. Burping constantly. You cannot even work in an office (thankfully i work from home and go on mute a LOT during my meetings). Stomach bloat was so bad i couldn’t wear jeans. Sick in bed, often.

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? It’s made a WORLD of difference! I’m attending all of my kids sports, not missing out on family things, able to do most anything I want now!

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? My symptoms would come on in the evening time, generally when my husband would come home from work. My go to would be to lay on the couch and watch him enjoy time with our boys. But because I feel better, I get to jump in on it too!

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? I can engage more with my kids during the day instead of spending so much time prepping and researching what food items I can/can’t have.

I’m thankful to feel like I have knowledge and power to live a different life than the symptom heavy one I felt trapped in.

I had been having a LOT of pain with my IBS-D. My doctor recommended trying the low FODMAP diet. I am busy and single, so cooking healthy - let alone a new and confusing meal plan was just too much for me. ModifyHealth has been a godsend because of that. Healthy, low FODMAP foods that are vacuum-sealed arrive every week. I toss one into the microwave and 2 minutes later it's ready to eat. It couldn't be simpler. My pain is not quite gone, but it is GREATLY improved. Best decision I have made. Do it!

 

How were digestive issues impacting your day-to-day life before you began the ModifyHealth program? Sometimes I had pain so bad that I really couldn't work because it was tough to stand or do anything other than curl up in a ball. Now, much, much better.

 

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? Pain is not quite gone - but it is 100x better. My diarrhea is gone. I'm having NORMAL bowel movements again. That alone makes this worth it!

I was concerned about the cost of the food - it's more than I would normally pay. However, before I had to go to the store and spend time shopping, looking at the ingredients, then spend time at home preparing the food. Now I don't spend that time. That to me made up the difference in the cost and made this a no-brainer for this busy single lady!

• • 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.

• • 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.

What difference has participating in the ModifyHealth program made in your day-to-day life? My IBS is diminishing.

• 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

• 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.

I have had bad IBS for years as well as my gallbladder removed. Doing this diet worked better than any supplement I was taking!

• 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.

 

Is there any additional information you would like to share about your story?

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.
