Medical Video: Irritable Bowel Syndrome | IBS | Nucleus Health
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that affects the work of the large intestine. Signs and symptoms include cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, bloating, and diarrhea or constipation. Some people with IBS can control the symptoms of recurrence by avoiding the trigger symptoms. Here is a list of intestinal irritation foods that must be avoided by people with IBS.
1. Gluten
The first intestinal irritating food is gluten. Gluten is a protein in wheat and flour that can cause allergies in some people. Some people with IBS also experience gluten intolerance conditions. Choose gluten-free foods if you have irritable bowel disease to avoid symptoms of recurrence. Be sure to read food labels before you buy them.
2. Artificial sugar and sweeteners
Some types of sugar and artificial sweeteners can cause stomach cramps, bloating, bloating, and other intestinal discomfort if consumed by people with IBS. Medical experts at the University of Maryland Medical Center recommend avoiding refined carbohydrates such as white rice, pasta, bread, and flour which will be converted into sugar by the body. Artificial sugar and sweeteners and other sugar substitutes are difficult for the body to absorb, especially if you have IBS.
Sugar substitute products such as sorbitol, sucralose and aspartame also need to be avoided. These ingredients are often found in sugar-free drinks, chewing gum and packaged foods.
3. Dairy products
Dairy products such as cheese, milk, ice cream, and butter are not recommended for consumption by people with IBS because of the fat content in them. Fat contained in dairy products can increase the risk of diarrhea in people with IBS. In addition, people with IBS usually experience lactose intolerance.
According to the National Institutes of Health, dairy products can cause negative reactions. For example abdominal pain, bloating, and abdominal pain. Even for people who don't have lactose intolerance, milk fat, casein or whey can be a problem.
4. Fiber is insoluble
Foods that contain insoluble fiber can make diarrhea symptoms in people with IBS worse. Certain types of food such as grains, vegetables, and fruit contain fiber which is difficult for people with IBS to digest. However, not all types of seeds, fruit and vegetables are not good for you.
Soluble fiber is still safe, so you can prioritize various foods with soluble fiber in the daily menu. Sources of soluble fiber include peas, avocados, tofu, berries, mangoes, oranges, grapefruit, and carrots.
5. Fried
Foods through a frying process such as French fries are not recommended for consumption by people with IBS. Because the fat content can change the chemical structure of the food so it is difficult to digest.
Cooking food by steaming, sautéing, or baking is a more recommended cooking method.
6. Caffeine
Caffeine can stimulate intestinal contractions so that it can cause diarrhea. Coffee, soda, tea, chocolate, and energy drinks that contain caffeine can be a bad trigger for IBS sufferers. Try to avoid it to keep the digestive system healthy.
Although everyone with IBS has allergies and different reactions to certain foods, avoiding irritating intestinal foods can be one of the best ways to prevent the severity and recurrence of symptoms.
