Whats the best diet for treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
You should strive for 25-30 grams of fiber per day – that will definitely help your IBS. BUT, you must add the fiber gradually and drink plenty of water – for two reasons. First, gradually adding fiber will prevent gas and bloating and second, the water will help speed the fiber through your body (by adding bulk when the fiber swells), easing your constipation. Regular exercise will also help, so try to do some form of cardio (even brisk walking will help) for 30 minutes at least 5 days per week. Remember before starting any new diet, you should talk with your physician.
