IBS Diet: Eat Smarter to Soothe Your Gut

What Is IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder that affects how the gut functions. It causes symptoms like:

• Bloating
• Cramping
• Gas
• Diarrhea and/or constipation
• Unpredictable bowel movements

IBS isn’t curable — but it is manageable with the right food and habits.

How Food Affects IBS

Certain foods can trigger symptoms by fermenting in the gut or irritating the digestive lining. That’s why managing IBS begins with knowing what to eat — and what to avoid.

IBS-Friendly Foods

These foods are gentle on the digestive system and less likely to cause a flare-up:

Carbohydrates

• White rice, oats, sourdough bread
• Potatoes (peeled), pumpkin, carrots

Proteins

• Eggs, tofu, chicken, turkey, fish
• Small amounts of lactose-free dairy

Fruits & Veggies (low in FODMAPs)

• Bananas, blueberries, strawberries
• Zucchini, spinach, cucumber

FODMAPs are short-chain carbs that can be hard to digest. Reducing them often relieves IBS symptoms.

Foods to Avoid with IBS

These are common triggers that may worsen IBS symptoms:

• Onions, garlic
• Beans, lentils
• Apples, pears, watermelon
• Milk, ice cream, soft cheese
• Artificial sweeteners (sorbitol, xylitol)
• Carbonated drinks & alcohol

Lifestyle Tips for Managing IBS

• Eat smaller meals more frequently
• Chew slowly and don’t rush eating
• Track symptoms with a food log
• Avoid skipping meals or fasting
• Manage stress with yoga, journaling, or light activity
