By Fit Tuber

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Avoid Modern Wheat for IBS Relief**: Modern wheat, developed in the 1960s, contains higher levels of gluten, which has led to an increase in gluten intolerance and IBS cases. Replacing wheat with grains like oats, barley, or millets can significantly improve IBS symptoms. [03:01], [03:45] - **Cooked Vegetables and Bananas Aid IBS**: While raw foods can be hard to digest for IBS sufferers, cooked vegetables like carrots, green beans, and bottle gourd are beneficial. Ripe fruits, especially bananas, are easier to digest and have shown up to a 76% reduction in IBS symptoms in studies. [06:49], [08:03] - **Green Moong Dal is Superior for IBS**: Unlike rajma and urad dal which can aggravate IBS, green moong dal is easily digestible, has cooling properties to reduce inflammation, and suits all body types, making it the best dal for healing IBS. [09:54], [11:15] - **Dairy Products and Processed Foods Trigger IBS**: Many IBS symptoms subside when milk and milk-based products are avoided, especially those from foreign breeds of cows which can cause lactose intolerance. Additionally, processed foods, deep-fried items, and caffeinated drinks are major culprits. [11:18], [02:04] - **Bilvasava: An Ayurvedic Supplement for IBS**: Bilvasava, a fermented Ayurvedic formulation made from raw bael fruit, is highly effective for IBS and ulcerative colitis.

worry, this is not a battle only few are

fighting.

>> Let's talk about the ayuridic supplement

that gives excellent results for IBS and

that is in this video I want to share

with you four foods that you should

avoid if you're suffering from IBS. And

along with that, I'll also share with

you the foods that are best in healing

IBS. Towards the end of this video, we

will also talk about an ayuridic

supplement that works as a catalyst in

improving this condition. IBS is a lot

more common than it appears. In India

Among women, this problem is even more

common. But one thing is for sure, if

you just focus on eating the right foods

even for 1 month, your IBS symptoms will

definitely get better. So without any

further delay, let's get started.

Hello friends, welcome to Fit Tuber. IBS

or irritable bowel syndrome is a problem

related to the large intestine. During

the digestion process, when food reaches

the final stage, the large intestine

absorbs extra water and pushes the waste

out. But in IBS, the muscles of the

large intestines get irritated and start

behaving abnormally. Sometimes they

don't absorb any water at all and

sometimes they absorb too much. That's

why people with IBS experience either

diarrhea or constipation or both.

Because of this irregular muscle

activity, IBS symptoms include abdominal

pain, a feeling of incomplete bowel

movement and changes in bowel frequency.

Feeling a pressure to go to the toilet

immediately after a meal is a classic

symptom of IBS. Now the question is why

does this problem happen? There are

mainly two reasons behind it. First is

the food choices and second is emotional

stress. Needless to say, the brain gut

connection is strong. Well, there are

certain foods that trigger IBS symptoms,

sometimes even immediately. Processed

foods, deep fried foods, caffeinated

drinks like tea and coffee and sugarfree

foods made with artificial sweeteners

are the main culprits. But apart from

these, there are also some foods that

look healthy and we eat them almost

daily. That's why this problem doesn't

go away. Instead, it keeps getting

worse. In the case of IBS, 90% of the

cure lies in your own hands. It's your

diet. I can tell you this responsibly

and with confidence if you remove the

worst foods for IBS mentioned in this

video and include the best ones instead.

Within 1 month, you will feel such a big

difference that you will be compelled to

write in the comments that your IBS

problem has reduced a lot. And you know

what? Your comments not only make me

feel good, but also they become a

motivation for others. They feel that

this video isn't made just for names

sake. The things mentioned here truly

work. So, let's now talk about those

four foods that are healthy otherwise,

but you should avoid in IBS. Starting

with number four on the list is wheat.

The more you avoid wheat, the fewer IBS

symptoms you'll experience. Wheat

naturally contains gluten. But what's

even more important to know is that

during the green revolution in 1960s,

the traditional wheat seeds were

tempered to increase yield. Of course,

wheat production increased, but so did

the number of gluten intolerance cases.

In 2009, a study clearly showed that

gluten allergies, which were almost

negligible in 1950s, have now increased

many times over, and so have IBS cases.

That's because when we eat this modern

wheat, our system doesn't take it

properly, which causes inflammation in

the intestines and triggers problems

like IBS. Not just based on books, but

having observed this in real life

scenarios, I can tell you that if you

replace wheat with other grains like

oats, jaw, bajra, ragi or millets, even

for one day, you'll notice a difference

in your IBS symptoms on that very day.

Just try it once. Stop eating wheat for

1 month. Eat other grains instead. After

1 month, you'll say to yourself, "Yes,

quitting wheat felt difficult at first,

but this has turned out to be the best

decision for my IBS." But roti made from

other grains like jawar ragi turns out

to be a paput. How can it be a great

replacement practically? We had

discussed in the calcium video that if

you need joggi or any millet flour with

boiling water, the roti becomes so soft

that you won't even realize whether it's

made from wheat or some other grain.

Just boil water equal to the amount of

flour you are using. Once the water

boils, mix the flour in it. Now when it

cools down a bit, knead it like normal

dough. And now make roti. It's a great

technique that helps you easily replace

wheat roti without compromising on

texture or taste. What about rice? Can

we eat rice?

>> Rice doesn't cause any problem in IBS.

You can safely eat it. But there is one

grain that actually helps heal IBS and

that is Barnard millet. Barnard millet

is not some new grain. It's the modern

name for sama ketchaval also called

swank which we often eat during fasting.

You might have also eaten it. Barniard

millet contains both soluble and

insoluble fiber and it's also rich in

resistant starch. Because of this, it

works as an effective prebiotic which

helps increase friendly bacteria in the

gut. And note this that low gut bacteria

is one of the main causes of IBS. Apart

from this, Barnard millet is easy to

digest, low FODMAP and completely

gluten-free. You can easily find it at

any grocery shop. I have also added its

link in the description box. To eat it,

just soak it the same way you soak

lentils. Then boil it like normal rice.

It cooks in just 15 minutes. You can use

barnyard millet to make vegetable pulao,

idli, dosa, anything you like. Taste

wise, you won't find any problem. The

only thing is it doesn't turn out as

kille chille as regular rice. The small

grains tend to stick together, but they

don't let inflammation or ulcer stick to

your intestines. In short, replace wheat

with ragi jawar or bajra roti. Eat rice

and also include ratwal chaval that is

baniard millet in your diet. Its results

in IBS are truly amazing. Next at number

three are sprouts. But I thought sprouts

are very healthy. There is no doubt that

sprouts are a superfood along with

protein. They are a powerhouse of many

micronutrients. But if you have IBS,

then you should not eat sprouts. The

reason is that digesting sprouts

requires a lot of effort from your

digestive system. And in IBS, the

digestive system becomes weak plus the

digestive fire is low. That's exactly

why symptoms like gas, bloating, and

irregular bowel movements appear. In

fact, in IBS, you should strictly avoid

raw foods like vegetable salads. Many

times, in order to get more nutrition or

following diet trends, we start eating

raw vegetables or drinking vegetable

juices. But note that digesting raw

vegetables takes a lot of energy. And in

IBS, the body doesn't have that much

digestive strength. If at all you want

to eat salad, have a small quantity

before lunch. Add black salt, black

pepper, roasted cumin and lemon to it.

This makes it a bit easier to digest.

Definitely avoid salad at night. Eat

vegetables only in the Indian style.

Cooked properly with a light tempering

using carbonated spices. That way you

can eat almost any vegetable

comfortably. According to studies,

cooked carrots are quite beneficial in

IBS. Green beans, capsicum, matey and

palak are also good option. In summer,

vegetables like bottle guard, pointed

guard and round god are the best. Soups

are underrated but whether it's tomato

soup, vegetable soup or lentil soup,

they worked like medicine for IBS. And

when I say soups, I mean homemade soups,

not those packet ones. Soups are that

one dish which is filling, rich in

nutrition yet very light on the stomach.

You said to avoid raw foods, but fruits

are raw too. So should we avoid them as

well? See, vegetables are eaten raw

before they ripen while fruits are eaten

after they ripen. Ayurvedically

speaking, fruits have more fire element

than vegetables. That's why digesting

ripe fruits is easier than raw

vegetables. Still, there are some fruits

that are better avoided in IBS. On top

of the list is apples. We have all heard

that an apple a day keeps the doctor

away, but that doesn't hold true for

IBS. In IBS, apples can cause serious

bloating issues. There is one fruit

though that's cheap, always available

and actually works like medicine for IBS

and that's banana. Whether you have

constipation or diarrhea, banana is

beneficial in both cases. In one study,

when IBS patients were given one to two

bananas daily, their symptoms reduced by

up to 76%. You can eat bananas either

early in the morning before breakfast or

before lunch or 2 hours after lunch. But

don't eat bananas after sunset. Even raw

banana curry is very good for IBS. What

about dry fruits? You can eat almonds,

cashews, peanuts, and walnuts, but with

two precautions. First, always eat them

either soaked or roasted. Otherwise,

their anti-nutrients can trigger

digestive issues. Second, keep the

quantity small. With nuts, less is more.

Around four, five soaked skinless

almonds are enough at one time. About

seven to eight cashews are sufficient in

a serving. Observe your own body. After

you eat anything, notice how you feel

and choose accordingly. Next food on the

list is Rajma and urad dal. Rajma and

urad dal. Both of these pulses are high

in protein, high in fiber and rich in

complex carbohydrates. Yet they

aggravate IBS symptoms. According to

Ayurveda, these pulses imbalance the air

element in the body. Which is why many

people experience gas and bloating after

eating them. If you really want to eat

urad dal, it's best to consume it in

fermented form like idli or dosa for

breakfast. Rajma if you want to eat

should be taken in small quantities at

lunchtime only. Some people may also

have trouble with chana dal or

chickpeas. Other ds however can be eaten

without issues. Among all dals there is

one that is almost therapeutic in IBS

and that is green moonong dal. What's so

special in green moonong dal? There are

three main reasons why green moonong dal

is so beneficial for IBS. First it

digests better than any other dal.

Because of this you can eat it for

lunch, breakfast or dinner without any

problem. Second, green moon dal has a

light and cooling property which helps

reduce inflammation in the intestinal

walls. Third, it is three doshik meaning

it suits all body types very easily. If

you make green moonong dal a regular

part of your diet, IBS symptoms will

start reducing on their own. You can eat

green moonong dal just how you make

normal dal. Another great option is kiti

made with green moonong dal and barnyard

millet or rice. Kituri serves as an

excellent dinner meal for people with

IBS. Many people underestimate kiti. It

is not only tasty but it is so gentle on

the digestive system that during punch

karma treatments when oil enemas are

given post that kit is the first meal

given to strengthen the intestines.

Kituri is perhaps the best dinner option

to reduce IBS symptoms. You can also eat

green moonongdal dosa which is called

peseratu in South India. A common

breakfast item. Green moonong dal soup

is another great starter meal that

soothes the intestinal walls.

Nutritionally, Ayurveda has compared

green moonongdal soup equal to milk. The

main point is to limit rajma, urad dal

and even chana dal. Green moonong dal is

by far the best dal for healing IBS.

Finally, at number one are dairy

products. Often it is seen that people

who have IBS symptoms, if they avoid

milk and milk based products, their

symptoms begin to subside. There is a

reason behind it. See, milk in general

helps lubricate the intestines. But

nowadays, the kind of milk being sold is

not worth damaging your gut health. Due

to commercialization, instead of native

DIY cows, milk is taken from foreign

breeds like Jersey and Fresh and Holene.

These foreign breeds of cows give more

milk in quantity, but the quality is

much lower. This type of milk is the

reason why lactose intolerance, a

problem people didn't even know about 25

years ago, has become so common today.

If you have IBS, you should avoid milk

and milk based products. Try avoiding

them for 1 month and you will notice

that the IBS symptoms you were

experiencing have started reducing.

Abdominal pain and bloating will happen

less frequently. If you want to include

a milk product in IBS, the best option

is spiced buttermilk or char. Add a

tempering of asafotida and cumin and

have it in small quantity during lunch.

That will help. Now if we plan a rough

diet for someone experiencing IBS type

symptoms, it could look like this. In

the morning before breakfast, eat one to

two bananas. Alternatively, you can

drink coconut water. Don't miss out on

the malai. For breakfast, dalia works

very well. Add vegetables to it. You can

use steel cuta oats or make porridge

using any millet. Avoid wheat. You can

also have idli or dosa. Sometimes moon

dal chila is great. And if bas chila

suits you, you can have that too. Add a

little awine to the batter for better

digestion. For lunch, eat ragi, jawar or

bajra roti with any seasonal vegetable.

After lunch, take the ayuridic

supplement that we will discuss later.

In the evening, you can have herbal teas

like ayurvea ccf that is cumin,

coriander, fennel tea. Along with it,

you can have soaked nuts. Quantity less,

chew more. Or you can just have two

bananas as evening snack. No, it won't

make you gain weight if you add black

salt and black pepper to it. Pay special

attention to dinner. It should be light.

Soups work very well. You can have

moonongdal kiti or dal with biard

millet. You can also include a small

quantity of homemade lemon pickle often

made using black salt, awine and asafida

along with your meals. This will ignite

the digestive fire.

>> Please suggest that ayurdic supplement

you were talking about.

>> Sure, we will talk about an ayuridic

supplement that is very effective in

improving IBS- like symptoms. But first

I want to share with you Biomun Skin

Radiance Vitamin C Serum. When your

digestion is good, your face naturally

glows. To enhance that glow, you can try

Biomun serum which contains vitamin C,

neosinamide and hyaluronic acid. Now

there are many serums in the market. But

the special thing about this one is that

it contains no harsh chemicals, no

silicons, no EDTA, no artificial

fragrance and no parabens. In fact, it

contains aloe vera leaf juice, licorice

root extract and mangishta root extract

which are some of the best ayurdic herbs

for the skin. This serum is suitable for

all skin types. To use, take three four

drops on your hand and massage evenly

onto your face. Biomoney also has two

other face serums, one for dark spots

and one for acne. All three are 100%

toxin-free. To buy Biomoney Skin

Radiance Serum, click the link in the

description box. Do not forget to apply

the special discount coupon to get 10%

off. Finally, let's talk about the

ayurdic supplement that gives excellent

results for IBS and that is bilvasa. As

the name suggests, it is made by

fermenting raw bale fruit over several

days. Now, this is a classical

formulation meaning the herbs used in it

and the method of its preparation are

exactly as described in Ayurvedic

scriptures. Along with bale, it contains

datki, nakaser, black pepper, clove,

camphur and jagury. This syrup is so

effective that if taken regularly and

correctly, it helps relieve not only IBS

but is also very effective in treating

ulcerative colitis. This syrup has no

side effects and it can be taken by

everyone from children to the elderly.

It is so safe that it can be taken three

times a day although I would recommend

that you take it at least once. Always

take it after meals after breakfast,

after lunch and after dinner. Take four

teaspoons that is 15 ml and mix it in

lukewarm water before drinking. Now

there is a reason why it's indicated to

be taken with lukewarm water compared to

cold water, lukewarm water increases

digestive fire and helps reduce

inflammation in the intestines. So does

that mean if I drink warm water in place

of cold water, it will help me in IBS?

>> Absolutely no doubt about it. Since this

is a classical syrup, many companies

manufacture it. You can buy it from any

trusted ayurdic shop. For your

convenience, I have provided an

unsponsored link in the description box

as well. A 450 ml bottle costs around

200 rupees. Take this syrup continuously

for 1 month and you will say for

yourself that you didn't expect this one

thing to give so much benefit. Of

course, keep paying attention to your

diet. Avoid caffeinated drinks, foods

with artificial sweeteners, fried foods

and other junk. Also, try to follow the

diet plan mentioned earlier. Avoid

wheat, raw foods, milk products and

rajma ura dal for 1 month. Then come

back and comment. Your comment will

motivate others as well. The link for

Biomoney Skin Radiance Syrup is also in

the description box. My name is Vive and

I thank you so much for watching.
