When one suffers from gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating or abdominal cramps often associated with conditions such as piles, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory diseases (ulcerative colitis, coeliac disease and Crohn’s disease), the food you eat could have a significant impact on your health.
Looking at what we eat is the first step in the management of gastrointestinal disease. For some diseases, like piles, the main cause for the condition is constipation, which can be minimised through making dietary adjustment.
