Low-FODMAPs: Dietary change is often helpful in regulating ibs symptoms associated with pain and alternating between constipation and diarrhea. Los-fodmaps diet eliminates fermentable foods leading to less gas and bloating which play a role in triggering the stretch pain receptors of the intestine. In addition its highly suggested you eliminate caffeine and fried foods. See your GI doctor. Good luck!
