10 Foods To Avoid With IBS
IBS Food To Avoid #8: Artificial Sweeteners
We are often reminded of the necessity to minimise the amount of sugar in our diet. Refined sugar in particular needs to be consumed in moderation, no matter how good it might make your food taste. Our body struggles to metabolize refined sugar and it ends up being converted into fat instead. This can lead to obesity, while too much can also cause other problems like diabetes.
Many people choose to switch to ‘healthier’ options such as artificial sweeteners instead. Sugar-free and low in calories, they can be useful to people that are watching their weight. They can be difficult for us to process, though, and can cause real problems for people with IBS.
