If you truly wish to combat IBS, you will first have to know that it is important to be patient. Your system has to be tested to find out, what it is that is causing the onslaught.
You could start by eliminating gluten from your diet, this includes, barley, rye, bread, cereal, pasta, cakes, pastries, beer, tortillas and anything else that contains gluten. While this may help, there may be other food groups as well, that may not go down well with your gut. You could be allergic to eggs, corn, nuts, soy or dairy.

When it comes to keeping your gut healthy, the natural fauna in your stomach needs to thrive. Our immune system is connected to our gut, and you should know that when your gut is not happy, your system is not going to be happy. There are a host of elements like chlorinated water, prescription drugs, stress factors such as anxiety, farmed meat and other processed foods can throw off the levels of natural bacteria in the body and inflame the lining of the gut.
There are ways however, to ensure that your tummy stays happy, through probiotics. Include natural probiotics in your system like that of miso soup, kimchi, kefir, kombucha and tempeh. Apple cider vinegar, is great for ‘good’ bacteria.
Oil

Peppermint oil helps calm muscle spasms that may occur in the gut, whereas fennel, coriander, tarragon, caraway and star anise help reduce bloating and stomach aches.
Fiber
Include more fiber in your diet, to keep your bowels functioning fine.
