IBS causing you stress and anxiety? Leave your worries at our doorstep.
Diet and lifestyle management can be used as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. Signs and symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea or constipation, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you’ll need to manage long term.
Only a small number of people with IBS have severe signs and symptoms. Some people can control their symptoms by managing diet, lifestyle and stress. More-severe symptoms can be treated with medication and counselling.
So, what are the triggers of an IBS flare up?
The truth is, leading a busy, hectic, life can trigger IBS…
Food: Many people have worse IBS symptoms when they eat or drink certain foods or beverages. These foods include wheat, dairy products, citrus fruits, beans, cabbage, milk and carbonated drinks.
Stress: Most people with IBS experience worse or more frequent signs and symptoms when they are stressed. But while stress may trigger your symptoms, it doesn’t cause them.
Hormones: Women are twice as likely to have IBS, which might indicate that hormones play a role with IBS. Many women report that their IBS symptoms are worse during their menstrual periods.
IBS can cause severe stress and anxiety adding to the physical symptoms of the condition. With certification in Clinical Nutrition Specialization ESA/ACSM, we understand the needs of people suffering to provide the nutritional needs to not only control but also minimize the symptoms.
