Do you often suffer from irritable bowel syndrome? To relieve the symptoms, you must start by adopting a healthy lifestyle. For this, avoid tobacco, coffee and alcohol, as they promote intestinal spasms. Also limit chewing gum and raw vegetables which tend to cause abdominal pain. Finally, choose foods that are light and easy to digest until the pain is completely gone.
Even if the symptoms have disappeared, your digestive system needs a few days of rest before resuming a normal diet. To do this, gradually reintroduce the foods that have been banned, especially those that are the most irritating. The ideal is to reintegrate one food per day in order to identify which ones you tolerate best and which ones you should limit.
In practice, start by reintroducing low-fiber vegetables:carrots, lettuce, green beans, spinach, tomatoes, asparagus, white leeks... Then gradually reintegrate raw vegetables (preferably finely grated and without the skin), then fruits well ripe. Finally, add pulses and fiber-rich grain products to your diet.
