If you are an irritable bowel syndrome sufferer, it is instinctively obvious that your diet plays a major factor in deciding how well or how sick you feel on any given day.
Consequently, it is likely that you have already searched for appropriate dietary information, details of the foods that you can and cannot eat that can help you to reduce the number of attacks you suffer as an irritable bowel syndrome sufferer. If so, I would wager that you have been somewhat disappointed with most of the information you have found because from my own research, I have found most of the information available to be vague, generalized and often little more than a wild stab in the dark at what might or might not work.
For example, you may have seen general advice that a high fiber diet or a diet that is rich in vegetables is good for someone who suffers from IBS. Whilst this might be true for a small percentage of sufferers, it is likely to be very small percentage indeed. A high fiber diet is the last thing you need if your condition is one where diarrhea or both diarrhea and constipation are present. Furthermore, if eating vegetables is a good idea, what kind of vegetables should they be?
One of the problems seems to be that the majority of IBS sufferers know that there are certain foods which irritate them and certain foods that they can eat almost every day without any problems whatsoever. However, in between these two categories, there are many foodstuffs that irritable bowel syndrome patients can eat one day, but not the next.
This leads to a good degree of confusion and a certain lack of clarity because there seems to be no logic in a scenario where you can eat something one day but not the next. Hence, some sufferers spend many fruitless hours trying to come up with a list of specific foods that cause them problems, whereas a lot of the time, compiling a list of this nature is almost impossible.
Allied to this is the fact that because irritable bowel syndrome is not one recognizable disease or condition, every individual sufferer is different. It might therefore be valid to ask, is there such a thing as a generalized IBS diet that will help at least the majority of sufferers, if not all of them?
