Some of the things I've tried:
- Giving up meat most of the week
- Trying to eat more slowly. This has been really hard, because at work, I get a 30 minute window to eat (work scheduling is strict... in the end, I have about 15-20 mins of meal time, which ends up being just gobble gobble gobble)
- Doing yoga asanas that focus on the digestive tract, eg. supine twists
- Seeing if I have a food allergy. I'm not even sure where I start on this... Google searches bring up tests that cost hundreds of dollars and I'm not really swimming in cash right now.
- Drinking Peppermint tea
- Giving up milk and dairy. I just love milk too much. Plus, there are days when I have milk and feel fine, so I don't think I'm lactose intolerant.
- Eating 5 small meals a day instead of 3 main ones.
Oh, what a first world problem... any suggestions?
Hi! I have IBS and experience bloating and indigestion and all sorts of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI generally haven't changed much (still eat like a pig) but since being a lot happier (got myself a bf) and drinking mainly hot water, I've found things have gotten a lot better.
:] Also if you are constipated, try eating fruits that contain laxatives like grapes, kiwifruits and plums. Some fruits work on some ppl, so plums are great for me.
This was posted a month ago so hopefully you feel plenty good now. :)
I haven't tried drinking hot water, I could definitely try that. I don't struggle so much with constipation, just mainly bloating, and indigestion. My stomach just doesn't like food... even though my tastebuds do! Thanks for the tips though!
