Dr. Martin Fried answered

Specializes in Nutrition

High fiber diet: A high fiber diet can help with cramping, constipation and diarrhea associated with ibs. That means more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. It also means less dairy products, less meat, chicken fish and fowl since they have no fiber at all. It may also mean less fat in the diet in favor of more of the high fiber foods.
