April is IBS Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of understanding and managing this condition. In the world of digestive health, IrritableBowel Syndrome (IBS) is a big challenge for many people. Arti Dhokia, a Dietitian, and Dr. Samuel Smith from Midland Health explain how lifestyle choices can affect IBS symptoms.
IBS can mess up your bathroom routine and make you feel uncomfortable, from constipation to diarrhea. A big reason for this is that the brain and the stomach aren’t working together well, especially when you’re anxious or eat certain foods. Dhokia says that what you eat is really important for managing IBS symptoms. Foods like fatty meats, processed foods, and sugary drinks can mess up the good bacteria in your gut, causing bloating and gas. Avoiding these foods and helping the good bacteria grow can help 97% of patients feel better. Also, getting therapy for anxiety can make symptoms better too.
Dr. Smith talks about how things like drinking alcohol, smoking, and not sleeping well can make IBS symptoms worse. Alcohol can upset your stomach, smoking messes up your gut, and not sleeping enough affects how your brain and gut talk to each other, making symptoms worse. Making changes like drinking less alcohol, quitting smoking, and getting good sleep can really help with IBS symptoms.
Doing regular exercise can also help manage IBS symptoms. Exercise helps your gut move and reduces stress, which can make you feel better. Simple activities like walking, biking, or doing yoga can make a big difference for people with IBS.
Dr. Smith says it’s important to understand how common and impactful IBS is, especially for people under 50. Even though we don’t know exactly what causes IBS, making lifestyle changes can really help manage the symptoms. Eating right, managing stress, and getting diagnosed early are all important for dealing with IBS.
“In conclusion, managing IBS means making changes to your diet, managing stress, and making lifestyle changes,” says Dr. Samuel Smith. “By making healthy choices like quitting smoking, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly, people can improve their quality of life even with IBS.”
