Looking for the best beverages or drinks for IBS or IBD?

Safe beverages for IBS or IBD include water, herbal teas like peppermint or ginger, and clear broths. These drinks help soothe digestion and avoid triggering symptoms. Avoid carbonated beverages, which can cause bloating, and limit caffeine, as it may irritate the gut. Lactose-free or plant-based milks, like almond or oat milk, can be easier on the digestive system than regular milk. Freshly pressed juices made from low-FODMAP fruits like strawberries or cucumbers are also good options.
