Dallas Bioidentical Hormones Expert, Lisa Gorn, D.O. Discusses IBS & G.I. Health
April is recognized as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Awareness Month and I wanted to discuss some factors that can negatively impact our G.I. health and increase our risk of developing IBS. Focusing on our diet and reducing stress are the most important things we can do to improve our gut health. The Standard American Diet (SAD) has been linked to a multitude of chronic and deficiency-related illnesses. Processed foods are oftentimes high in trans fats, saturated fats, simple sugars and empty calories and significantly increase the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Also, when we eat is just as important as what we eat. Regular mealtimes help regulate digestion. Relaxing and taking the time to chew our food thoroughly not only aids in digestion, but helps us utilize more nutrients. In addition to the foods that we eat, stress also plays a large role in our overall gut health. Chronic stress causes the intestinal muscles to contract and eventually the contractions can cause symptoms commonly associated with IBS, such as abdominal pain and discomfort, constipation, diarrhea and bloating.
