Do you suffer from an upset stomach and IBS? You are not alone. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be a daily reminder of how the body can react to different foods and stress. But there is hope and ways to take control of your health..
Here are tips on how to relieve IBS naturally:
1. Dietary changes
Identify foods that worsen your IBS symptoms. Common triggers are, for example, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, carbonated drinks and dairy products. Also increase fiber in your diet, as it contributes to regular bowel movements and less discomfort.

3. Diet awareness
It is important to eat slowly, by chewing the food properly.
Tip: Get a food diary to keep track of which foods aggravate your IBS.
4. Regular exercise
Physical activity can contribute to improved digestion but also reduce stress.
5. Fluid intake
Staying properly hydrated can help prevent constipation and improve bowel function.
6. Avoid rapid changes
Let your body adapt to your changes in your diet and lifestyle, therefore make your changes at a steady and calm pace.
7. FODMAPs can help
FODMAP diet has been shown to relieve symptoms in some. FODMAP is a diet where you eat foods that contain little or none of the carbohydrates that the intestine has difficulty breaking down. Get in touch with one dietitian if you want to try this diet.
Remember that improving health is a journey, and it may take time to find the best strategies for you.
