    Most IBS is related to poor diet. Cut out the refined sugars, cut down on pastas, white breads, drink lots of water, dont eat before bed, a little excercise and in three weeks most of your problems will be solved.

    +6 for the question and the answer above.

    I have this trouble too. I find fiber (dietary and supplements) helps along with plenty of water. I also find eating small meals through-out the day helps as well.

    I found it helped to write down what I ate and when I had troubles. Doing that I eliminated homogenized milk which really helped me cut down incidents. I now buy my milk from a local dairy. There may be a food or foods that make your troubles worse so try a food diary to see if that's the case.

    Good luck! I know it's tough to deal with this ailment.
