10 Foods To Avoid With IBS
IBS Diet Food #9: Artificial Sweeteners
One of the biggest contributors to obesity and other associated health problems is sugar that is added to our diets. This excess sugar is pure energy that is difficult to burn off and generally ends up being converted into fat, which is then stored on the body. One way to overcome this is with artificial sweeteners but they can bring problems of their own.
Artificial sweeteners can be a problem for people with irritable bowel syndrome because they can be difficult to digest. They are also quite common so a lot of foods may be off the menu for people with IBS. Some natural sweeteners such as honey can make a suitable alternative, and foods with sugar are themselves OK if eaten in moderation.
