Managing IBS Flare-Ups with the Betr Food Protocol

An IBS flare-up is debilitating and painful. Anyone who has experienced life with IBS knows it is worth changing their eating lifestyle to avoid recurring symptoms. The betr food protocol focuses on a digestive reset, creating a low inflammation environment for healthy flora to populate and heal your GI tract, and has successfully helped people avoid chronic IBS flare-ups.

When a flare-up of painful symptoms does occur, it is important to modify your meals to allow your body time to heal. The best approach is to cut all caffeinated products, bake some chicken or fish (lean proteins), and focus on cooked veggies and fruits (no skins or fibrous veggies) in smaller portions, with light salt, minimal oil, and no spicy seasonings. Avoiding sugar, fat, sodium, caffeine, alcohol, and raw high-fiber veggies should reduce pain while allowing time to heal, letting you feel back to normal quickly.

Managing IBS flare-ups through dietary changes may require some trial and error. But following the Betr food protocol and sample meals listed above can help you avoid further pain and discomfort.

Morning Snack: Egg whites and a baked apple
​Lunch: Baked chicken with cooked asparagus tips
​Afternoon Snack: Banana or seasonal fresh melon
​Dinner: Broiled fish and cooked spinach
