Use of hot water on an empty stomach in IBS
Consumption of very hot water on an empty stomach does not give many benefits in IBS as it stimulates the digestive system which increases the chances of crampings.
You take it quiet after meals. Or at a time when it will be easier for you and you will not have to go through a painful phase.
Depending on the weather, hot water use, and IBS
The use of hot water in hot weather does not benefit IBS as it does in cold weather.
This means that if you have IBS and you are living in a cold area, a place where the temperature is low, you should use hot water frequently which will help you a lot in reducing the symptoms of IBS. ۔
But one thing to keep in mind is to use only pure water and do not put anything in it.
