No doubt, food lovers cannot resist the delectable meals when they go out. When you are going out with your friends, or family, it is the perfect time to make some new memories.
But, the patients with IBS (Irritable bowel Syndrome), need to ensure that when they go out they need to eat the right kind of food. When we see a specific item on the menu, it can give them thought about how it will escalate the symptoms or will I be able to go to the restroom on time. Here are some of the tips which you need to keep in mind:
- Check all the food options
If you are going out, then it is better that you check their menu on the website. Find out if there are dairy-free or gluten-free food options. If you are not sure, then give them a call to understand what meal they prepare.
- Be prepared
For patients with IBS, they must be prepared. Before you head out, make sure that you control the feeling of anxiety & stress. You should drive to the place on your own because if you need to leave early, you won’t have to ask anyone else.
- Do not eat food on an empty stomach
Patients with IBS will try not to eat when they want to go out. However, this approach is not the best. Before you go out, you must have a few small meals. This way the body can have regular digestion and you don’t have to eat those food options which can elevate the symptoms.
- Eat and drink wisely
The patient with IBS will have some triggers. However, certain food options need to be avoided like creamy food, fatty food, sizable portions, and anything which is fried.
