Diet Do

If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, you must be very careful about your diet. Eat foods that will keep your digestive system healthy.

• IBS is triggered by the intake of foods with high caffeine content, such as coffee, carbonated drinks and chocolate. Avoid them!
• Cut down on sugar
• Avoid foods with yeast.
• Reduce intake of dairy products. However, you can have probiotic yoghurt without sugar.
• Have soups with meat, beans and non-starchy vegetables. Avoid grains, corn and rice.
