What is the best food for your child if they suffer from IBS?
If your child is diagnosed with IBS, it can be managed by modifying your child’s diet and lifestyle.
One treatment option for managing irritable bowel syndrome in children is the low FODMAPs diet.
A popular misconception with this diet is that many parents assume that you need to avoid your trigger foods entirely.
However, unlike children following a strict diet for known food allergies, in the low FODMAP diet, children are still able to enjoy small amounts of FODMAPs.
Working with a paediatric dietitian specialising in IBS will help you identify your child’s trigger foods so that you know exactly how much of each FODMAPs foods to give without triggering bloating, constipation or diarrhoea.
The best foods to give children diagnosed with IBS are therefore foods that you know they tolerate well.
My IBS Kids Programme will help you identify your child’s trigger foods.
