How to Minimize IBS

Ask anyone with irritable bowel syndrome and they’ll tell you it’s more than an inconvenience. IBS is a disorder of the gastrointestinal system that causes pain and discomfort. In extreme cases, IBS can ruin careers and strain relationships. In some people, the gut is truly evil.

IBS is more than just a stomach that won’t sit. Irritable bowel syndrome is a collection of symptoms that relate to the GI tract, including: abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation.

IBS Trigger Foods

IBS is a highly individual disorder, and what triggers problems in one patient may have no effect on another. Having said that, some foods are notorious for causing IBS symptoms, and if any foods are going to cause problems, it’s these guys:

Dairy products – Dairy is an important source of calcium and vital nutrients, but for people who are lactose intolerant, they’re a first class ticket to cramping and diarrhea. Lactose is a sugar found in most dairy products, by the way, and people who are lactose intolerant can’t digest it.

What to avoid: milk, cheese, ice cream.

Try these instead: soy milk, almond milk, goat cheese.

Whole grains – Another irony of nutrition, the benefits of fiber are far-reaching and well-known, but some forms of insoluble fiber can trigger symptoms in IBS patients and for people with Celiac’s disease.

What to avoid: wheat, rye, barley.

Try these instead: rice (basmati or brown), millet, quinoa, amaranth.

Raw fruits – Are they healthy? Yes – but raw fruits can cause issues for people with IBS and some should be avoided.

What to avoid: melons (watermelon and canteloupe), citrus fruits.

Try these instead: cooked or canned fruits, or experiment with different raw fruits (apples might be safer).

Drinks – America’s love affair with the soft drink doesn’t sit well in people with IBS, especially if you’re prone to bloating and gas.

What to avoid: coffee and caffeinated drinks, alcoholic drinks (especially red wine), diet sodas.

Try this instead: kefir, an ancient fermented milk drink that’s low in lactose, and like yogurt, may ease symptoms of IBS.
