Many with IBS have undiagnosed parasites. Try 2 tbsp of ground papaya seeds once a week for 3 weeks which will clear most parasites and is safe if you don't have them. Also try probiotics.

Question 4

Variable: There three different varieties of IBS and each has to be addressed somewhat differently. You may consult this site for information and then discuss the matter with your doctor.

Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

IBS-D: That helps, surely. Many people use immodium(loperamide) to prevent diarrhea when working. Stress reduction techniques may help. Probiotics can be tried, bile acid binders, antidepressants, mast cell stabilizers, and 5 ASA.

Question 6

what is the recommended diet if you have ibs?

Accepted Answer

IBS: I usually recommend high fiber diet as first step if it is tolerable. I also recommend to avoid patient specific irritants like lactose, chocolate, caffeine etc.

Question 7

i have ibs for 10 years.could you telk me a proper diet for it.

Accepted Answer

Low FODMAP diet: Certain foods contain sugars and carbohydrates that are relatively difficult for humans to digest, but easy for bacteria in the gut to digest.  When the bacteria digest these sugars, they ferment them, and one of the byproducts is gas.  The excess gas expands the intestine and results in pain.  Some people are more sensitive than others to the gas. Try this diet: http://bit.Ly/12kezpx.

Question 8

how can i really choose the right optimal diet when living with ibs?

Accepted Answer

Low FODMAP diet: One of the novel diets that has been helpful for a lot of my patients is called a low-FODMAP diet. I use this resource for my patients: https://stanfordhealthcare.org/content/dam/SHC/for-patients-component/programs-services/clinical-nutrition-services/docs/pdf-lowfodmapdiet.pdf

It is important to get checked for Celiac (gluten allergy) if you notice wheat/rye/barley is provoking your symptoms.

Question 9

what are some good meds or diet for someone who has ibs? none of the meds preprscribed are not working

Accepted Answer

Diet: Diet is usually the mainstay of ibs.  A blandish, low lactose, probably low gluten diet is best that doesn't vary too much.  Also try to keep fiber up in your diet.

Question 10

i have lost over 77 ibs since last year through constant exercise and diet.  are there anything i should be aware of healthwise?

Accepted Answer

Congratulations!: That's great.  Please stay close to your doc because your lab values will change and the work of your heart is changing also.  Slow and steady is the way to go.  The way you see yourself in a mirror and in your self-concept will change also, but there is often a one to two year lag in that.  You will still feel overweight and see yourself that way for a while.  Focus on the inner person above all.
