What foods trigger appendicitis?

Question:

What foods trigger appendicitis?

Answer:

No specific food directly causes appendicitis, but a low-fiber diet can contribute to it over time by causing constipation. Hard or undigested food particles may block the appendix, triggering inflammation.

Diet Insights

  • Low-fiber diets increase the risk.
  • Processed foods and junk food may worsen gut health.
  • Eating fiber-rich foods helps maintain regular bowel movement and reduces risk.
