What to Eat for IBS-D?

 Smart eating practices can make your life a little easier when you have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea or IBS-D.

Don't avoid fiber if you have IBS-D. Simply consume more soluble fiber than insoluble fiber, as soluble fiber stays in the gut longer, which helps the colon to work normally.

Good sources of soluble fiber include

  • Peas,

  • Beans,

  • Oats,

  • Citrus fruits,

  • Barley,

  • Apples,

  • Carrots.

Insoluble fiber is seen in

  • Whole-wheat flour,

  • Beans

  • Wheat bran,

  • Cauliflower,

  • Nuts,

  • Potatoes,

  • Green beans.

It is also essential to drink sufficient liquids to increase your fiber intake.

Moreover, while you figure out your triggers, you might need to take special care with foods known to induce symptoms in some people with the same condition. These foods include

  • fatty foods or fried foods

  • Broccoli, cabbage, and onions,

  • dairy products

  • Alcohol

  • Caffeine 

  • Carbonated sodas

  • Gluten

  • Chocolate

  • Sorbitol - a sugar substitute found in gum and mints, 

  • Fructose - a sugar in honey and some fruits
