Foods To Avoid With IBS: Discover 2 Foods That You Are Probably Eating That You Need To Stay Away From.

By Alison Harris

Recent research points to the idea that IBS may be caused by an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the small intestine. It seems that some foods favour the growth of these bad bacteria and one way to reduce their quantity is to know which foods support their growth.

You need to keep a food and symptoms diary as this is the only way you will be able to track down the trigger foods and eliminate them from your diet.

The list below shows 2 known foods that definitely trigger IBS symptoms in many people. They are:

1. Gluten: Is a protein found in a lot of grains and that includes but not restricted to wheat,oats,rye,spelt,rye and barley.The first thing you need to do is go on a gluten free diet for at least 2 weeks.

This means you have to pay close attention to the foods you are eating and read food labels and even over the counter medicines because even some of the foods and medications you least expect may contain gluten.

You should see a significant improvement in your symptoms once you eliminate this protein from your diet.

2. Coffee especially when combined with sugar and milk. As an irritable bowel syndrome suffer myself, I have experienced some of the symptoms of IBS e.g bloating, stomach noises, flatulence, spastic contractions of the colon and stomach cramps.

I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms the very next day I stopped drinking coffee.

You see coffee and sugar are both acidic foods and they will increase the acidity of your stomach. If you suffer from IBS, it is important that your stomach is not too acidic. One of the ways to achieve this is to reduce the amount of acidic foods you eat and consume more foods that leave an alkaline residue in your body.

We have looked at two specific foods you need to stay away from if you are an irritable bowel syndrome sufferer, but there are many more foods that trigger the symptoms of IBS. - 17268
