Eating bottle gourd whether it is in the form of curry or its halwa cannot reduce the symptoms of IBS.

Another thing to note is that eating bottle gourd does not cause IBS symptoms in some people.

It also depends on which species of bottle gourd is being eaten.

If a normal bottle gourd is being used, such as a round bottle gourd, it will definitely show symptoms.

If bottle gourd long with more length is made into curry and eaten, then there are less chances of symptoms appearing.

It also depends on what other items you are adding in bottle gourd at the time of cooking.
