One important thing individuals with irritable bowel syndrome can do is to reduce the use of oil in cooking. Even if they're making all their meals at home by using fresh ingredients, they might still be triggering flareups by using high quantities of oil or fat. There are also substitutes individuals can use for different types of oil so they don't have to sacrifice the flavor of their meals entirely. If individuals use a lot of butter when they cook, experts recommend switching to olive oil. For every cup of butter in a recipe, individuals can use three-quarters of a cup of olive oil with a quarter cup of butter and get the same effect. However, if this fix leads to using too much olive oil, it can also lead to intestinal distress. Olive oil tends to wreak less havoc on the digestive tract than butter, but it's not always great to have in a diet. Individuals can look up ways to grease their cookware and flavor their food without using the same amount of oil and butter. They can also reduce the amount of fried food they eat.
