Question 1

what foods will i have to avoid. i have ibs -d?

Accepted Answer

IBS-d diet: There is no particular diet for IBS-d. Each patient usually has certain foods that trigger their symptoms more than others. Doing a food diary to help determine what your particular trigger foods are can be helpful. It is important to continue to eat fiber, although soluble fiber may be better in this instance. A good amount of fluid intake is also important. Good luck.

Question 2

wat are some common triggers of ibs? wat are good foods to eat

Accepted Answer

Home IBS remedies: Dietary triggers for ibs symptoms are individualized, ; it's worthwhile keeping a food diary to see if correlates with certain foods. In general, GI stimulants (caffeine) ; dietary fats often precipitate ibs-like complaints. About a third of ibs patients tolerate poorly dietary fiber sources. Peppermint is well studied as a smooth muscle relaxer, ; often eases ibs distress (but may worsen gerd).

Question 3

was told i have ibs, kept a food journal, no trigger found, how do i manage it?

Accepted Answer

Elimination diet?: Was your food journal done while eating your usual foods, or while also doing an elimination diet?  This is a temporary food plan eliminating foods that commonly cause  symptoms (dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, etc) and then adding each  back 1 meal a day for several days, to see results. Your doctor should be able to help w/this -- it might give more info.  With this, a good probiotic could help also.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Bland diet: Best to have small frequent meals of bland diet away from the extremes of the too spicy and too hot and fried food.

Question 5

i have ibs brought on by a stress. 4 weeks later i am no longer stressed but struggling to get symptoms under control. i don't have food triggers.

Accepted Answer

Chinese medicine: Medically two things that can help with ibs are peppermint oil and digestive enzymes. 
I also suggest seeing an acupuncturist/chinese medicine doctor as that can really help balance your body and improve your symptoms. Good luck!

Question 6

what foods to avoid when you have ibs always having diarea  drained and tired?

Question 7

i have been diagnosed with ibs.what type of foods should i avoid . i follow a lacto-vegetarian diet . ?

Accepted Answer

Foods and IBS: Different people will have different sensitivities to foods with IBS. Dairy products and spicy or acidic foods (like coffee or tomatoes) are often the more common foods that exacerbate IBS. If there are foods that you suspect are bothersome, the best way to confirm is an elimination diet--eliminate the suspected food(s) for a few weeks and track how your symptoms are during that time.

Question 8

i'm having a lot of trouble trying to manage my ibs (predom. diarrhea). i've had it for a year & don't eat dairy. what other foods should i avoid?

Accepted Answer

See nutritionist: ? IBS symptoms for one year &amp; wants to know what foods to avoid. If celiac &amp; lactose disorders have been ruled out, there is need to look elsewhere. IBS is highly associated with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and sacroiliac joint subluxation disorder. If chronic low back pain is associated, then see an Osteopath.  JHS is the "Great Masquerader"; even highly associated with fibromyalgia.
