To help manage IBS symptoms, consider dietary modifications such as adopting a healthy (Edibolic) diet, avoiding sugar, toxic seed oils, excessive carbohydrates, staying hydrated and eating healthy fats at each meal. This type of diet reduces intake of toxic oils, helps stabilize your blood sugar and reduces autonomic dysfunction. Make sure that you thoughtfully plan your meals, and eat in a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep are also extremely important. A medical doctor who is well-versed in IBS, like Michael Rothman MD, can guide you in creating a personalized management plan.
