Gluten
Gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley, triggers severe immune reactions in conditions like celiac disease. Some individuals with IBS may also experience gluten intolerance, leading to symptoms similar to diarrhoea-predominant IBS.
While studies suggest that a gluten-free diet may improve IBS symptoms for many, incorporating gluten-free grains like millet and quinoa could serve as suitable alternatives. Additionally, opting for oats processed in gluten-free facilities or products marked as gluten-free might help minimize cross-contamination risks for those highly sensitive to gluten. [3]
