Health : Quick Relief for IBS Flare-Ups

Experiencing an IBS flare-up? Here are 3 simple ways to ease the discomfort:

1. Sip peppermint tea 🍵: Peppermint naturally relaxes intestinal muscles and can ease cramping and bloating within 15-30 minutes.

2. Apply heat 🔥: Place a warm heating pad on your abdomen for 15-20 minutes to relax muscles and reduce pain.

3. Eat easy-to-digest foods 🍌: Stick to bland options like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, or plain oatmeal until symptoms calm down. Avoid triggers like dairy, caffeine, and high-fat foods during a flare.

💡 Pro tip: Keep peppermint tea and a heating pad on hand so you're prepared when symptoms strike.

⚠️ If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
