Some people resort to certain medications to treat the discomfort caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which can significantly affect daily life. However, managing IBS issues, according to Sputnik, should not only rely on medication but also include a diet that avoids certain foods known to irritate the condition, as reported by Verywell Health.
**Canned Beverages**
Canned drinks can exacerbate IBS symptoms because they contain substances that irritate the gut, such as fructose.
**Soda**
If you suffer from IBS, you should limit your intake of soda as it contains carbon dioxide gas that can accumulate in the stomach, leading to bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms.
**Sugar-Free Soda**
Although they are free of sugars and considered a healthier alternative to regular soda, research indicates that they can still cause varying degrees of irritation to the gut.
**Vegetable Juices**
Vegetable juices containing garlic can be problematic for IBS, as they may lead to digestive issues, bloating, and abdominal pain.
**Tea and Coffee**
Excessive consumption of stimulants like tea and coffee can lead to IBS disturbances due to their caffeine content, which can irritate the gut.
**Natural Dairy**
Natural dairy products contain lactose, which can irritate IBS symptoms, so it may be best to seek suitable alternatives.
