Highly Processed Foods
The prevalence of added salt, sugar, fats, and a lot of additives in highly processed foods renders them potential triggers for IBS symptoms. Items like chips, prepackaged meals, and sugary beverages often contribute to or aggravate existing discomfort associated with IBS.
An overreliance on a diet primarily composed of these processed foods not only increases the risk of triggering IBS symptoms but also correlates with a heightened likelihood of developing IBS and other related health complications. Making concerted efforts to minimize the consumption of highly processed foods is essential to managing IBS effectively.
