Vitamin Deficiencies and IBS Symptoms
A deficiency in three vitamins can threaten the body with symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), namely vitamins B12, D, and magnesium. A B12 deficiency slows intestinal movement, causes bloating and constipation, and is often accompanied by fatigue and numbness; it is more common among vegetarians and the elderly. A deficiency in vitamin D is linked to increased IBS symptoms and leads to fatigue and muscle pain. Meanwhile, a magnesium deficiency causes cramps, constipation, and tension. It is advised not to take supplements without consulting a doctor. The body can be supported by consuming foods such as meats, fish, and eggs for vitamin B12; sunlight and oily fish for vitamin D; and nuts and legumes for magnesium.
