An irritable bowel syndrome manifests itself differently in each person affected. There are no general nutritional recommendations for irritable bowel syndrome<\/strong> that patients can follow. Which foods are the right choice for irritable bowel syndrome always depends on the individual circumstances and the severity of the disease as well as possible food intolerances. It is important to find out which foods or circumstances are potential triggers for the onset of irritable bowel symptoms. In addition to stress, worries, lack of exercise and sleep, diet often triggers symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right diet for irritable bowel syndrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what do you eat when you have irritable bowel syndrome? The very first step in gastrointestinal problems should be a thorough examination by a doctor<\/strong>. Even a balanced and stomach-friendly diet does not alleviate irritable bowel syndrome if other factors trigger the symptoms or if another disease is present. A stool examination in the laboratory<\/a> like the INTEST.<\/strong>pro from BIOMES <\/strong>can give indications if and which tendencies to intolerances or allergies your intestines show. If organic causes and other chronic intestinal diseases<\/a> are excluded, the next step is to keep a detailed nutrition diary<\/strong>. In this diary, you as the affected person record all physical reactions to certain foods as well as various information. Take note of…<\/p>\n\n\n

This makes it possible to identify the causes of irritable bowel syndrome through diet. This is because irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by hypersensitivity to certain stimuli. Depending on the inclination and sensitivity of the intestine, certain foods can therefore promote intestinal inflammation<\/a>. Likewise, genetic factors, environmental influences, psychological factors<\/strong> or the interaction between the personal microbiota (intestinal flora) and the immune system<\/strong> can play a role in intestinal complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Low-FODMAP Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If an intestine does not function as it should, it is often not able to sufficiently break down food into its individual parts and decompose them. The remaining substances then react in the colon with the intestinal bacteria<\/a> present there. Often gases are produced which can cause flatness and pain<\/strong>. Some of the so-called FODMAPs also bind water in the large intestine causing diarrhea<\/strong>.The term FODMAP is made up of the initial letters of the substances that are considered to cause many intestinal complaints:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
