| Hi Olivia,
Have you been feeling tired and wanting some relief?
As we know, IBS causes intestinal disturbances such as bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. But fatigue can also be a symptom of IBS for some people.
One study has shown that fatigue can be the third most common symptom of IBS.
So, why does IBS cause fatigue?
Those with IBS are known to have overactive responses to stress. Dietary and lifestyle factors, like lack of sleep and a restrictive diet, can also cause fatigue.
Luckily, we have rounded up some strategies to improve IBS fatigue, including:
- Regular exercise
- Consistent sleep pattern
- Reduce caffeine
- Following the low FODMAP diet
We have written an in-depth post on IBS and fatigue, which you can read here. |
