By Peter Wallander


Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS affects millions of new people every year. Each of whom need to learn the best ways to keep the disease under control. These new IBS patients soon find out that an Irritable Bowel Syndrome diet can be as simple as following a few eating rules. The following information will help sufferers of IBS navigate through those rules.

Another Irritable Bowel Syndrome diet secret is to stay away from caffeine, sorbitol (used as a sweetener) and alcohol, all of which can aggravate the bowel and cause symptoms to flare up. Its best to pass up high-fat foods such as pastries and other desserts for the same reasons.

As with any medical issue, you should always consult your physician with any questions or concerns that you have. They will be your best source forinformation about controlling this disease given your personal situation.

Its best to keep a food journal to help you identify which types of food and drink cause you to become gassy and therefore cause IBS flare-ups. This journal can be as simple as writing down a food and how you felt after eating it to noting the time of day, who you ate with and how you were feeling when you ate. The point is that keeping some type of a journal will pinpoint which foods cause you issues.

One of the easiest changes that can be made to your diet is to avoid eating foods that are known to cause gas, for example, broccoli and beans. Beware however, that foods are not the only thing that can cause gas, apple juice and grape juice can have the same effect on your body.
