Tips on Enjoying Thanksgiving with IBS

Written By Marica Gaspic

Here are some simple tips for enjoying Thanksgiving with IBS:

  1. Plan Ahead: Communicate with the host about your dietary needs and any specific foods to avoid.

  2. Choose Wisely: Opt for low-FODMAP foods, like turkey, certain vegetables (like carrots and green beans), and gluten-free sides.

  3. Portion Control: Eat smaller portions to avoid overwhelming your digestive system.

  4. Stay Hydrated: Drink water throughout the day, but avoid carbonated beverages.

  5. Mindful Eating: Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion.

  6. Limit High-Fat and Spicy Foods: These can trigger symptoms, so stick to simpler dishes.

  7. Have Snacks Ready: Bring your own safe snacks in case options are limited.

  8. Know Your Triggers: Be aware of your personal food intolerances and avoid those items.

  9. Relax and Enjoy: Stress can exacerbate IBS symptoms, so try to enjoy the company and atmosphere.

  10. Post-Meal Walk: A gentle walk after eating can aid digestion.

11. Dress comfortably- no tight clothing, loose fit dress and tights
