It is generally recommended for individuals with IBS to sit while eating, as standing can put additional stress on the digestive system and potentially exacerbate symptoms. Sitting while eating allows for better digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is also important to eat slowly and mindfully, chewing food thoroughly to aid in digestion and reduce the risk of triggering IBS symptoms.

Standing while eating is not generally recommended for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). When standing, gravity pulls the contents of the stomach and intestines down into the lower digestive tract. This can put pressure on the intestines and lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas, and bloating.
In addition, standing while eating can increase the amount of air that is swallowed. This can lead to further bloating and discomfort.
It is generally recommended that people with IBS eat meals in a relaxed, seated position. This helps to keep the contents of the stomach and intestines in place and can reduce the risk of symptoms.
