People with diarrhea due to irritable bowel syndrome can eat steamed buns because they need to avoid foods like milk, coffee, and soy milk, which can exacerbate diarrhea. Steamed buns do not cause diarrhea, so patients with irritable bowel syndrome can eat them normally, but they should not eat too much and should eat in moderation, avoiding overeating. At the same time, patients with irritable bowel syndrome should eat more easily digestible and light foods, avoid spicy and stimulating foods as well as greasy foods, and also avoid alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc.

Does irritable bowel syndrome cause stomach discomfort?

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome may experience stomach discomfort, as irritable bowel syndrome may be a type of functional dyspepsia. Therefore, patients with functional dyspepsia may experience stomach discomfort, which manifests as bloating, early satiety, belching, acid reflux, heartburn, etc. Once patients experience stomach discomfort, it is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department of a reputable hospital as soon as possible to complete a gastroscopic examination and a carbon-13 breath test, as well as to check for Helicobacter pylori. When necessary, targeted symptomatic treatment should be conducted.

Is running good for irritable bowel syndrome?

Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can benefit from running as part of their recovery process. Patients with IBS need moderate exercise, which can significantly aid in the recovery of their intestinal health. Additionally, IBS is somewhat linked to emotions; engaging in physical exercise can relieve fatigue and shift the patient's focus, which helps in improving the symptoms of IBS. At the same time, patients with IBS should consume a diet consisting of light and easily digestible foods, and avoid greasy or spicy foods.

Can a CT scan check for Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common type of functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized primarily by abdominal pain accompanied by changes in habitual bowel patterns. The abdominal pain is related to defecation, often improving after bowel movements, and the symptoms frequently recur or are chronically persistent. Thus, IBS is a functional disease, meaning it does not involve organic changes. In other words, medical examinations do not reveal problems in any specific part of the body. Therefore, IBS cannot be detected with a CT scan, and CT also cannot visualize the intestinal mucosa. Even diseases like chronic colitis cannot be detected with a CT scan. Any diseases involving the gastrointestinal mucosa cannot be uncovered by CT, hence diagnosis requires the use of gastroscopy or colonoscopy.

Does irritable bowel syndrome cause sensitivity to cold?

Irritable bowel syndrome may cause symptoms of feeling cold. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are greatly influenced by emotions. If a patient is overly tense or anxious, it may lead to a sensation of feeling cold, although there may be no actual drop in body temperature or external temperature. Sometimes, patients with irritable bowel syndrome may need to use anti-anxiety medications for treatment, such as fluoxetine, buspirone, etc. It is also crucial to pay close attention to dietary adjustments, avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods, ensuring regular meals, and consuming easily digestible foods. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
