Glutinous rice is not recommended for people with irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common functional bowel disease, patients often manifest abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel habits and fecal character. Improper diet often induces the recurrence or aggravation of symptoms, so patients should establish good living habits and avoid symptom-inducing foods in their diet. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome should avoid indigestible or gas-producing foods, and high-fiber foods can help improve constipation. Glutinous rice is generally not recommended as it is not easily digested or absorbed. If the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome is confirmed, early and standardized treatment is recommended, with personalized diagnosis and treatment plans formulated by doctors to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
