Welcome, fellow warriors of the porcelain throne. If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume that your gut is putting up a good fight against you. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be a constant thorn in your side – or let’s be real here – in your butthole. It’s an ailment that can make even the toughest amongst us squirm uncomfortably at work.

Fear not brave souls! There are plenty of natural ways to manage IBS symptoms and ditch those pesky stomach cramps for good (well at least most of the time). In true alchemist fashion, we have some secret remedies up our sleeves which we’re about to share with you!

The world has always offered magical elixirs hidden in plain sight via food; unfortunately, they often come wrapped as veggies and oats which aren’t nearly as tempting as steak and chips but one must learn restrain if health is not just important but crucial.

Cutting Down On FODMAPs

Some carbohydrates known as FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides) found in many fruits, veggies and wheat products cause bloating indigestion constipation diarrhoea runny nose irritation brainfoggasdiscomfortheadaches ugh!(seriously scary stuff).
Here’s a quick table for reference:

Soluble Fibres

Soluble fiber is food material found in plenty of whole grains, fruits and veggies that easily dissolve when immersed in water. Such fibers offer relief by absorbing liquids in your gut and reducing the risk of diarrhea; takes much longer than other types to process fully- making you full for longer.
Great sources include oats (our unloved heroes) flaxseed, chia seed et al.

Drinking Peppermint Tea

With its cooling properties peppermint oil relieves muscle spasms all over our body including intestine muscles, giving good results with moderate cramps as well providing la menthol flavoured goodness&supporting abdominal pain reductionzzzz^,_ while doubling up as breath freshener!
ProTip- Avoid consuming too much peppermint tea if you have acid reflux or heartburn.

Keep Your Liquid Intake Flowing

Your daily intake should comprise at least 8 glasses – it’s science! You also need to make sure you drink more than usual if diarrhoea creates dehydration. It simultaneously helps flush out toxins from one end while providing hydration from the other(we like to think optimistically).

Electrolyte Drinks

Drinking electrolytes will ensure maintaining non-dehydrated state but also give necessary minerals such as Sodium & Potassium which ensures healthy bowel movements hydrating cells aka what we call balance(best composure at all times!)
Eg: Nuun Sport Tabs etc.

Yoga – this ancient practice promises immense benefits, forming an entire encyclopedia on its own discussing each bit minutely so let us put forth some basic information only for our limited attention span.
Yoga poses designed to stimulate healthy digestion:
-Bharadvaja’s Twist
-Child Pose
-Dhanurasana (Bow Pose)
-Supta Matsyendrasana(Supine Spinal Twist)- which sounds like a complicated way of saying twisted in bed.

Stress “It’s simple – just don’t stress” …said no-one ever. Seriously, managing and preventing stress is key to maintaining good bowel movements; it goes without saying that any kind of tension can use trouble down-under! Travelling, work-life balance ,family gatherings etc. all fodder for the poopy police,
-take time out & STOP investing energy into non-priority
-spend time with animals or children-that obnoxious dog will now have purpose beyond barking

This isn’t exactly news but we’ll still say it anyway – supplementing your diet with probiotics is an outstanding defense against IBS symptoms; by supplying those gut-friendly bacteria ease irritation ensuring maximum comfort so get on this bandwagon already!

Psyllium

For daily routine maintenance psyllium supplements can reduce occurrence of constipation as well provide easy elimination during bathroom breaks(ahem). Use cassia cinnamon twigs for tea as flavourful alternative.

That rounds up some basic ways through which you could help alleviate IBS naturally keeping medications at bay while ensuring self-care remains intact albeit providing useful tidbits (you’re welcome!).
