Managing IBS with diarrhea can be challenging, but making the right food choices can help. Here’s what works for many people with IBS:
- Low FODMAP diet: This dietary approach helps reduce symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain. It involves removing certain foods and gradually reintroducing them to see which ones trigger your symptoms.
- Easy-to-digest foods: Stick with foods like plain rice, cooked carrots, zucchini, and lean proteins (e.g., chicken, fish) to ease digestion.
- Avoiding triggers: Steer clear of fatty, spicy, or fried foods, as well as dairy and caffeine. These can worsen symptoms for many people with IBS.
If you’re unsure which foods work for you, consulting with a healthcare provider can help you create a personalized meal plan.
