2. Bananas
Bananas are well known for being easy on the digestive system. They’re rich in soluble fiber, which helps firm up stool and promote more regular bowel movements. Bananas also replenish key electrolytes especially potassium which supports healthy digestion. Eating one can help calm the gut and reduce sudden bathroom urgency.
3. Ginger
Ginger has a long history as a digestive soother. It can help reduce cramping and discomfort after eating, particularly in people with IBS. By calming the digestive tract and easing inflammation, ginger may lessen the intensity of the gastrocolic reflex. Adding ginger to meals or drinking ginger tea after eating can be especially beneficial.
4. Plain Yogurt (with probiotics)
Plain yogurt that contains live probiotic cultures can support better gut health. Probiotics help balance the gut microbiome, which may reduce IBS symptoms. With a healthier digestive environment, your body may respond less dramatically after meals, lowering the urge to head straight to the bathroom.
5. Aloe Vera with Water
Aloe vera is known for its soothing effect on the digestive tract. When mixed with water and consumed in small amounts, it may help calm gut inflammation and regulate bowel movements. For people with IBS or chronic digestive sensitivity, drinking aloe vera water before meals may help prevent post-meal urgency.
6. Psyllium Husk Supplements
