Australian model and personal trainer Alyce Crawford has always been open about the severe bloating and IBS she has struggled with since 2013.
And while the 28-year-old former Australia's Next Top Model star continues to struggle after periods of eating and drinking the wrong things, she has also lessened the effects of her IBS through diet and exercise.
Recently, Alyce shared a snap of her stomach on Sunday morning 'after a night of consuming high FODMAP food and wine with friends', and the morning of the event, before she ate the food.
She also shared how she intends to deal with the festive season with her severe bloating, and how you can too.

'First picture = Sunday morning after a night of consuming high FODMAP food and wine with friends,' Alyce wrote, alongside a photograph of her bloated stomach.
'Second picture = Saturday (the morning of, before the high FODMAP party) after a morning workout and following a low FODMAP diet consistently,' she added.
'These photos depict the unfortunate reality of IBS. This might not look bad to some, or this may not be understood completely, but I'm telling you, the pain is not a fun time.
'I try my hardest to manage, but life happens, and sometimes I decide to feed my soul. At this time of year in particular (Christmas and summer are life), there are more social gatherings than usual.
'The bad news, there are repercussions. The good news, I now know how to deal with an IBS flare up (unlike two years ago, when I had no idea).'

Speaking about her tips for dealing with an IBS flare up, which often happens over the Christmas period, Alyce said it's important to spend the next day entirely focusing on your health.
'Low FODMAP and nutritious food for the win,' she said. 'I will always exercise, even during a flare up, because it makes me feel better.'
She said that while exercise doesn't get rid of her bloating completely, her body feels 'a little lighter after I've moved it'.
'Usually when I am bloated and sore, I will only exercise for 30 minutes max.'
Alyce also counteracts her severe bloating, abdominal pain and digestive problems with a nutritious diet 80 to 90 per cent of the time, while allowing herself to eat as she likes for 10 per cent of the time.
'Low FODMAP and nutritious food for the win,' she said. 'I will always exercise, even during a flare up, because it makes me feel better.'
'Remember these three key factors: Everything in moderation, portions are very important and have protein, carbohydrates (yes this includes bread and pasta), and vegetables/salad with every meal,' she said.
Alyce's typical exercise regimes range from 45 minute full body resistance circuits and 50 minutes of HIIT cardio to HIIT circuits and ab exercises - all done first thing in the morning.
An example breakfast she gave was one banana and an open toastie with one slice of gluten free toast with ham, light tasty cheese, tomato, baby spinach, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, melted in the oven.

Lunches are equally as nutritious, with the model often enjoying two brown rice sushi rolls with salmon and cucumber and a mini brown rice salmon roll with soy sauce and mayonnaise.
Dinners are simple yet tasty, with Alyce recently enjoying a gluten free burrito with beef mince, light tasty cheese, tomato, cottage cheese, corn, red capsicum, iceberg lettuce, fresh chives, whole egg mayonnaise, smoked paprika and salt.
Snacks include things like frozen banana with blueberries, bananas, almond milk lattes and rice cakes with Peanut Butter.
Alyce also enjoys desserts like three pieces of Lindt 85 per cent dark chocolate and fresh strawberries.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia previously, Alyce said she first realised something was wrong when she woke up in 2013 feeling incredibly unwell.
She said she had always managed to maintain her incredibly taut and trim figure - even while eating junk food – until her body refused to cooperate.
'I knew there was something very wrong with my body. My stomach was severely bloated and sore. I had sharp pains stabbing me low down in my stomach and knew it was a feeling I had never experienced before,' she said.
The 28-year-old was forced to spend all her time focusing on learning how to manage the condition. She was in so much pain she felt like it 'controlled her life'.
'In the beginning, I needed to take some time off from work to focus on getting better as I was constantly sick and didn't know the first thing to do to try and make myself feel better,' Alyce said.
'I was extremely stressed because I wasn't able to manage anything and felt very sick from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep at night. I felt like it was taking over my life.'
She was devastated and feeling immense pressure as her entire career was reliant on her body which suddenly felt like it refused to cooperate.
In the face of the painful struggle she has learnt how to adjust her lifestyle for the best possible outcome - refusing to give up when her body would not respond.
'Luckily, I found what worked for me so I am not affected and I can do my job,' Alyce said.
By predominantly focusing on whoelfoods and low FODMAP items, she manages to keep her condition under control - and live a relatively normal life.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
