Kiwis: Relief for IBS-C?

Why Kiwifruit Might Be Your Gut’s New Best Friend
If you struggle with IBS-related constipation, you might want to add kiwifruit to your daily routine. This little green powerhouse has been studied for its ability to support digestion—and the results are pretty impressive.

🍃 Helps Keep Things Moving
A study found that eating two green kiwifruits per day for four weeks increased bowel movements in people with IBS-C. Participants also reported feeling more comfortable overall, with less bloating and discomfort. (Source)

🍃 Gentle on the Gut
Unlike some fiber supplements that can be harsh or cause bloating, kiwifruit contains actinidin, an enzyme that helps break down proteins and may aid digestion. It’s also packed with water and soluble fiber, which can help soften stools naturally.

🍃 Low-FODMAP Friendly
For those following a low-FODMAP diet, good news—kiwifruit is low in FODMAPs! That means it’s less likely to trigger symptoms compared to other high-fiber fruits. Plus, it’s loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. (Source)
