Tag: Pork and digestion

According to the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, up to 20% of the world's population suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a condition where symptoms can often be triggered by diet. This raises a common question: **can eating pork cause IBS**? The answer is not a simple yes or no, as the effect depends heavily on the specific cut of meat and how it is prepared.

Over 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, and for many, certain foods are a major trigger. While the meat itself is not highly acidic, the way it is prepared and the cut you choose can influence whether pork causes acidity or triggers acid reflux symptoms.
