Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Diagnosis & Treatment

Stress-Relieving Techniques

Exercising regularly would stimulate the digestive system and reduce the levels of stress, which would trigger irritable bowel syndrome. You should try to move your body at least 15 to 30 minutes per day. It can be some simple activities like walking, jogging, or cycling to more intense exercises such as swimming, working out, and more. Many deep breathing techniques could also help. By breathing deeply, you can calm your mind and prevent the occurrence of some symptoms. Some other options to consider include yoga, tai chi, reading book, listening to music, or taking a hot shower. [10]
