So what should be done? As always, your doctor should tell you how to proceed. In the meantime, you can make these easy and healthy smoothies at home that will make you feel uncomfortable. Find out more about them below.

1. Aloe Vera kiwi smoothie

How to make smoothies

• 1 tablespoon aloe Vera gel (20 g)
• 1 kiwi
• A glass of water

You will already know the many benefits of aloe vera. It is one of the best plants to treat irritable bowel syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It also reduces the amount of bacteria that can irritate the gut.

On the other hand, when aloe vera breaks down, it does not release gas like other foods. For this reason, it moisturizes and treats the intestinal walls, allowing other compounds to be synthesized. Combined with kiwi juice, you get a smoothie that is full of vitamins and is very gentle and digestive.

It’s easy to do: warm a glass of water and mix a tablespoon of aloe vera with it. Once the aloe Vera has dissolved, puree the kiwi and aloe Vera water in a blender. You can add a tablespoon of honey, which makes the smoothie more pleasant. Another tip to keep in mind is that it is better to drink these smoothies warm, not cold or hot. They will then melt more easily.

2. Papaya chamomile smoothie

How to make smoothies

• 3 papaya slices
• 1 chamomile tea bag
• 1 mint tea bag
• A few drops of fresh lemon juice
• A tablespoon of honey

This smoothie is a must drink every morning when you wake up. You reduce inflammation and relieve pain and swelling. Papaya is one of the most effective digestive fruits thanks to papain. It melts well and makes you feel much better.

It is also worth highlighting the many benefits of mint when used to treat irritable bowel syndrome. Its oil contains menthol, which facilitates the management of muscle contractions in the intestine and thereby relaxes the intestine, relieving pain.

So what are the virtues of chamomile? It relieves the feeling of swelling, it calms, relaxes and regulates bowel function, which often in people with irritable bowel syndrome ranges from constipation to diarrhea.

To do this, you only need papaya smoothies. Boil mint and chamomile in a glass of water. When the tea is ready, puree it with the papaya in a blender. Add a little honey and a few drops of fresh lemon juice and feel the relaxing effect. This smoothie is perfect to drink in the morning.

3. Lemon balm-watermelon-pear smoothie

How to make smoothies

• Slice the watermelon
• Pear
• Lemon balm tea bag
• Glass of water (200 ml)

A simple gimmick combining fruit with medicinal plants significantly enhances the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. The sedative, anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effect increases. Lemon balm is also a great relaxant, an effective way to prevent cramps or intestinal muscle contractions that cause a lot of pain. Irritable bowel syndrome is greatly alleviated with this smoothie.

Pear, on the other hand, is one of the medicinal fruits that is good to eat daily. It is high in vitamins and minerals and is easily digestible, so it does not cause problems in the intestines. It is well tolerated and its B vitamin combinations bring many benefits.

The inclusion of watermelon in this smoothie is important. Watermelon helps maintain fluid balance, is a diuretic and contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. It is well tolerated and reduces inflammation in the gut. To benefit from these ingredients, make a simple smoothie from both fruits.

Be sure to add lemon balm tea. Prepare the tea in a glass of hot water. When the tea is ready, add the watermelon and pear, and puree all the ingredients in a blender. You will notice how awesome a smoothie this is and your gut will like it. Be sure to still drink this smoothie while warm. If you drink smoothies hot or cold, it can cause discomfort in your gut.
