  1. You work a lot and do not have time to eat right.

Significant workload leads to the fact that you will realize in the evening that you did not eat breakfast or lunch. As a result, your digestive system stops functioning properly. To prevent IBS and other diseases, a healthy diet should be a top priority. In this case, it is not necessary to follow a strict diet, but the rules of healthy eating and its regularity must be followed.

At the first signs of indigestion, you should exclude from your diet those foods that stimulate fermentation in the intestines (fried, salty, spicy, smoked foods, spices, sauces, sour fruits and berries). At this time, it is better to abandon the use of pastries made of yeast dough and sweet culinary products.

During the exacerbation of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, you should eat every 3-4 hours in small portions. The last meal should be good for the stomach. Try to keep all food warm. This food is less irritating to the gastric mucosa.

  1. You are very nervous and your daily life is like a constant race.

You are in a hurry and often do not have the opportunity to fully relax due to mandatory daily activities. In this case, many people try to cope with stress with alcohol and cigarettes. As a result, your body experiences stress, and all this provokes an exacerbation of IBS. After all, alcohol and nicotine irritate the mucous membrane of the digestive system.

To relieve stress without harm to health, go for a walk in the fresh air, go in for sports. Maybe yoga or meditation is more suitable for someone, and stretching will help someone to relieve emotional stress. If you can’t cope with stress on your own, you need to see a doctor to prescribe sedatives and drugs for the treatment of IBS (Colofac, Adcumin).

  1. You are chronically sleep deprived.

Due to the number of gloomy days, you often have to get up in the morning when it is still dark outside. This affects not only the psychological state, but also the quality of sleep. As a result, it is impossible to feel refreshed without a few cups of strong coffee. There is also a lack of energy when you want to eat something fatty or sweet. To correct the situation, try to go to bed earlier and thoroughly ventilate the bedroom before bedtime.

  1. You have decided to lose weight and follow a diet.

If you have no problems buying fresh vegetables and fruits in the summer, then in the fall more and more meat, pickles and semi-finished products appear in your diet. To lose weight in such conditions, you need to carefully balance your diet, because in the absence of vitamins and trace elements, normal regeneration of the gastric mucosa is impossible.

  1. You are engaged in self-medication, self-prescribe medication.

Autumn is the peak incidence of influenza and SARS. Even with severe symptoms, many people neglect to see a doctor and prescribe treatment for themselves. In fact, it is very easy to make a mistake with such a choice. It is important to understand that even a simple aspirin pill can cause serious gastrointestinal problems.
