Intermittent Fasting and IBS: Weighing Potential Benefits and Risks

Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern where you cycle between eating and not eating.

For people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), this can be tricky.

IBS causes tummy troubles like pain and bloating.

While IF might help some IBS sufferers by improving their gut health, it can also make symptoms worse for others.

Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can mess with your digestion and cause constipation or nausea.

If you have IBS, it's important to talk to a doctor before trying intermittent fasting to see if it's right for you.
