🥧 Navigating IBS During Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is all about food and family — but if you’re one of the millions living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), the holiday table can be a real challenge.
Dr. Kevin Ollington, our GI specialist at MFM Health in Danvers, shares this reminder:
“Managing IBS during the holidays doesn’t mean missing out — it’s about knowing your triggers, balancing portions, and giving your body time to digest.”
💡 Here are a few quick tips for a more comfortable holiday:
1. Eat smaller, balanced portions throughout the day
2. Avoid high-fat, spicy, or overly rich foods that can trigger symptoms
3. Stay hydrated — water helps keep digestion on track
4. Manage stress — it’s one of the biggest IBS triggers
You don’t have to navigate IBS alone. Our Gastroenterology team can help you identify your triggers and develop a plan that works for you.
