Reducing or Eliminating IBS Symptoms – Become Friends with Food Again…Despite IBS

It is easy to let IBS take control of your life because it makes eating any food an uncertain exercise. Sometimes a meal does not trigger IBS symptoms. On the other hand, eating the identical meal a week later may trigger IBS symptoms because you are experiencing stress or there is a temporary hormone imbalance.

It is difficult to predict when IBS will strike, but there are certain foods that have been identified as having a potential impact on the digestive system. Since IBS is a disorder of the digestive system, it is only natural that managing the diet is one approach to managing IBS.

Since the most common IBS symptoms are constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and gas, there is a two-pronged dietary approach to controlling IBS. On the one hand, you want to avoid those foods most likely to trigger the symptoms. On the other hand, it is necessary to add the foods to the diet that will supply essential nutrients, while also easing IBS symptoms.

Reducing or Eliminating IBS Symptoms – Avoiding Foods that Harm and Adding Foods that Heal

The general categories of food to avoid include greasy or fatty foods, spicy foods, sugar and artificial sweeteners, wheat, dairy products, citrus fruit, and certain vegetables that cause gas and bloating. These foods are known to cause intestinal convulsions, produce gas, be difficult to digest, or are known to have substances that are difficult to digest.

In some instances, it may be a lactose intolerance or a reaction to the gluten protein in wheat that is causing symptoms like diarrhoea and gas. Within each of these food categories there are specific foods that will need to be avoided, depending on the specific symptoms experienced. People with IBS should avoid alcohol and coffee also.

Once you know which foods should be eliminated from the IBS diet, the second phase is to add foods that promote good health. Once again, your symptoms will dictate what you can eat and what needs to be avoided.

High fiber fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids are often recommended. However, if you have diarrhoea, it is wise to avoid eating too much fiber, but it is important to add foods that alleviate diarrhoea.

People with IBS should avoid eating large meals because they stress the digestive system by encouraging stronger intestinal contractions. You can eat small meals throughout the day, while staying alert to eating habits that seem to prompt Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms.

For example, you will learn how large a serving of any food containing wheat you can eat before IBS symptoms are triggered. It maybe you cannot eat any dairy products, or you might be able to eat low fat dairy products a couple of times a week.

Reducing or Eliminating IBS Symptoms – Developing Personal Awareness

One of the most important aspects of the IBS diet is its variableness. People with IBS must become very aware of the relationship between their lifestyle and IBS symptoms. You may discover that it is best to eat the largest meal in the morning to encourage intestinal contractions.

You will learn what foods should be avoided at all costs on the days when you are experiencing bloating and gas. When you are experiencing a period of high anxiety or stress, even a little grease can affect digestion. What aggravates your system may not bother another person, so it is personal awareness that counts.

Learning the specific types of foods that can prompt IBS symptoms and those that are safe to eat is critical. The book IBS Miracle – How To Free Your Life From Irritable Bowel Syndrome devotes a large section to the discussion of foods, so that you can begin to develop a diet that keeps you healthy instead of making you sick.

It is distressing when the very substances meant to keep us alive are the same things disrupting the digestive process. It is possible to take control of your health one food item at a time when you have IBS.
Reducing or Eliminating IBS Symptoms – Is This Normal or Do I Really Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Unfortunately, there are probably millions of people who have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and do not know it or will not admit it. It could go either way because there is no medical test that can lead to a diagnosis of IBS, like tests for diabetes or high cholesterol.

In addition, everyone experiences digestion problems at times or episodes of diarrhoea or constipation. It is the day you realize that these episodes are happening with regularity or that the quality of your life is declining because of digestive issues that it is time to ask: Is it possible I have IBS?

One of the symptoms differentiating IBS from average and random digestion problems is stomach pain. When your gut hurts or experiences noticeable discomfort, it may be IBS. Usually there are multiple symptoms and not just one, making it more likely you will notice the digestive problems are occurring too frequently to be “normal.”

The delay in dealing with the condition can lead to anxiety because eventually you will wonder if there is something seriously wrong with your intestines. The anxiety can exacerbate the symptoms, producing more diarrhoea, constipation, gas and a host of other symptoms.

Reducing or Eliminating IBS Symptoms – Recognizing Symptoms

Unfortunately, many people do not tell a health professional about the symptoms due to embarrassment. No one really likes talking about their bowels. However, it is important to first rule out other, more serious, diseases or illnesses before starting an IBS diet.

A physician will want to know if you have been running a fever or have blood in your stool because these are not IBS symptoms, but they are symptoms of serious diseases like colon cancer.

For IBS to be medically diagnosed, you should have experienced gut pain for at least 12 weeks out of 24 weeks. Any pain experienced should be associated with frequency of the bowel movement, changes in stool appearance or experiencing relief from pain after a bowel movement.

Other symptoms include bloating, mucus that accompanies the stool, urgent need to go to the bathroom, difficulty passing stool, bouts of diarrhoea and/or too frequent bowel movements, or long periods with no bowel movement.

In a lot of cases, people never get an official medical diagnosis. They are either too embarrassed to talk about their disorder with a doctor, or the symptoms are mild enough to be tolerated. In these cases, many begin to realize that the amount of abdominal pain felt is associated with bowel movements.

Once stool is passed, the pain or discomfort eases. They may also begin to notice a pattern that includes a bloated stomach, occasional constipation or diarrhoea or both, and a connection between eating and symptoms.

If you have been experiencing ongoing digestive problems that particularly include constipation or diarrhoea, and excessive gas and bloating, you may have IBS. There are other symptoms also that include vomiting and nausea, sensations of abdominal fullness (without abdominal enlargement), and an uncontrollable urge to defecate.
