Need workup: IBS is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. Meaning all other causes of it infectious, cancerous, food or water induced are eliminated thru physician exams, labs etc. That said, I recommend Oatmeal. Especially Irish Oatmeal. It is high in fiber and types of fibers. Thus can stabilize the bowel. Add some Yogurt with good bacteria. This will help stabilize the stresses your bowel is showing.
