Healthy Choices at Every Meal
Simple Tips to Outsmart IBS
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 06/20/13 -- (Family Features) For families of the nearly 30 percent of the general population who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, making healthy diet decisions is not an option, it's a necessity -- especially when those sufferers are children and young adults.
"It's no secret that getting children to make healthy choices at meal time poses a challenge for all parents, but when you throw IBS into the mix, the task gets much harder," said Patsy Catsos, registered dietitian and author.
While there are no known causes or cures, there are simple ways to figure out a child's food triggers to avoid some of the discomfort it brings. Below are three simple tips to help families outsmart IBS:
Begin by discreetly keeping a food and symptom journal for at least two weeks. Record portion sizes, times of meals and symptoms. This information will be important for discussions with a medical professional in case symptoms increase.
Next, discuss with your medical provider about incorporating VSL#3 JUNIOR, a high-potency probiotic medical food for young sufferers of IBS.
Lastly, remember there are many healthy, IBS-friendly recipes the entire family can enjoy. Everyone will want seconds when you serve them creamy, delicious Macaroni and Cheese or these chewy, moist Coconut Granola Bars.
