Can having lower cholesterol help with your ibs?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can't hurt.: A lower cholesterol, or cholesterol in general, does not appear to have a correlation to ibs. Having said this, a lower cholesterol is an indication your body is working well, and that you can clear out fats and lipids that are very likely to cause ibs. So if you can lower cholesterol with a good diet and exercise, then your ibs should be helped a great deal as well.

Not related: Separate processes. However lower cholesterol is usually advantageous in the long run provided malnutrition is not at play.
