Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind 💫 There are a few key factors that contribute to #IBS symptoms. . . . Stomach acid is important for the breakdown of food and to help with bloating/gas, it also helps kill bacteria 🦠 . . . Colds/flus, as well as food poisoning, can put you at risk of IBS 🤒 . . . Medications can increase gastrointestinal transit time and predispose one to developing IBS 💊 . . . Food sensitivities can cause GI irritation and lead to changes in bowel consistency and frequency, making your symptoms worse!💩 . . . A strong immune system helps us fight off infections and increases our resiliency! 😃 . . . ⏺ Join my Facebook group (link in bio) to get more information on this topic. My goal is to provide information on what causes these unpleasant symptoms, things you can do at home, and how you can get your life back on track!
