A member asked:

How do you go on a diet to loose 20-25lbs. with ibs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can: There are many diets that can work, but you must review each one for foods that your condition may not tolerate, such as lactose products. Of course you will find some foods will cause discomfort and you will have to avoid them. For some, roughage can be a problem, etc.A little preparation and trial and error will work for you.
