IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS): FOOD & PHYSICAL FACTORS
There are many things attributed to IBS but it is commonly attributed to the dietary & physical factors.
Sugar – Increase sugar consumption will make the intestine sluggish and affect the way the food and metabolites move in and out of the body. (Murray & Pizzorno, 2012).
By not avoiding the substances (food allergens/intolerances) that caused the physiological responses, the body will persistently send immunologic responses causing irritation and inflammation in your gut or some parts of the body. (Eswaran, et. al, 2011).
Leaky Gut- Kozyrskyi, et. al (2011) mentioned that compromised gut wall integrity will make IBS patients more prone to allergies & intolerances.
Lack of fiber in the diet – successful in addressing gut issues especially the constipated type of IBS. (Murray & Pizzorno, 2012)
Lack of Vitamin D- Various evidences showed the linear association of Vitamin D deficiency and several illnesses such as IBS, infections, heart disease and diabetes (Holick, 2010).
OTHERS:
Hormones out of whack especially for women (Mayo Clinic, 2020) & Stress – it continuously drives the body in an alert (sympathetic response) and would adversely affect most systems of the body including the gut (Murray & Pizzorno, 2012).
Runner’s gut – Our tummy is slowly digesting food while the rest of the body is getting the blood supply and nutrients needed for the activity (Sports Dietician Australia, 2020).
