IBS Diet
This website was made to help you understand how your
diet can play a big role in controlling your Irritable Bowel
Syndrome. We know that everyone's body is different, and our
reactions to certain foods we consume may be different then
someone else, but we have a made a diet that has helped the
average IBS sufferer. We know that certain foods can trigger
symptoms with your Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Foods that
irritate your digestive tract need to be removed from your
daily diet in the beginning stages.
How do we know what's good or bad for your body? We use a
process of elimination! By doing this, we can create a
specific diet based on your personal body's needs.
In this article we will show you how to begin with a bland
IBS diet (which we have listed below). Once your body has had
time to calm down from your symptoms you can slowly start to
introduce new foods in moderation (listed below). This is
where you need to pay attention the most. If you consume
something that causes your body to react negatively, you
know this must be taken out of your diet. This doesn't mean
that you will never be able to eat these foods again, but
that you have to eat these foods in smaller proportions.

A Specific Diet Plan
IBS sufferers usually find that eating certain foods causes
symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and
constipation. This is because food moves to slow or to fast
through the intestines. Making the following changes to your
diet will help to eliminate you symptoms.
The following foods may be regularly eaten at any desired
quantity:
Ripened Bananas
White Rice Eggs Fish (broiled or baked-avoid shellfish) Chicken Soup and others (but NO cream soups) Fresh chicken or turkey Cooked vegetables
Drinks: Room temperature Water (drink plenty to avoid
dehydration and will help to prevent bloating and excessive
gas), Gatorade, Ensure, Grape and Apple Juice (with no
additives). Juicy Juice is highly recommended because it is
made of 100% juice.
The following foods may be eaten in moderation; no more than
1-2 servings per day:
Butter and/ or Olive oil Jelly or Jams (low in sugar) Peanut Butter Select Cheeses (Cheddar, Colby, and Swiss ONLY) White breads and organic breads (such as: Ezekiel bread,
almond bread, oat bran, and rice bread). Avoid rye, wheat
and barley, for these grains can be more difficult to
digest. Cereals that contain little or no sugar Oatmeal Cream of rice and cream of wheat Potatoes (sweet potatoes preferably) Fresh beef, pork, or lamb Fruits are tolerated, except in cases of diarrhea,
including: tomatoes, red apples, peaches, nectarines, and
melon Condiments, including, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard
Drinks: Lactose-free milk (Lactaid), Soy or Rice Milk
Eliminate (or strictly limit) the following foods:
Refined foods containing sugar, such as cookies, cakes, and
snack foods. You may replace sugar with honey or natural
sugar such as Stevia.
Completely Eliminate the following foods from you diet
during the recovery period:
Alcoholic Beverages Caffeine Corn (including popcorn) Soft Drinks
Candy and Chocolate Greasy, fatty, or fried foods Margarine Spicy foods, such as black or red pepper Dairy Products
Foods containing high levels of preservatives Nuts and Seeds Roughage (except in cases of constipation)
* Eat slowly and have meals in a quiet, relaxing
environment.
FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DIARRHEA:
- Eat food and drink water at room temperature.
- Avoid insoluble fiber (roughage).
- Eat small, frequent meals. Do not eat large meals.
- Chew all food well.
- Avoid dairy products (they are difficult to digest)
- Avoid fresh fruits and dried fruits (including prunes,
apricots and figs)
- Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day),
preferably at room temperature to keep the body hydrated.
Dehydration can occur with severe and prolonged diarrhea.
- White rice, ripe bananas, white toast, and chicken soup
are usually well tolerated.
- Avoid gas-producing items such as beans (legumes).
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower.
Examples of cooked vegetables that are usually well
tolerated include green beans, green peas, spinach,
asparagus, and carrots,
- Do not drink the Aloe Vera gels or liquids while
experiencing diarrhea. The gel and liquid contain some toxic
ingredients, mineral salts and enzymes that, when taken
internally, are irritating to the gut and intestinal
linings.
FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH CONSTIPATION:
- Prune juice works wonders Start with 1 ounce in the
morning on the first day. Increase up to 1 ounce daily as
needed. Test yourself slowly to determine your best ounce
dosages.
- Exercise! Physical activity speeds up the movement of
waste through the intestines. A twenty minute walk can often
help relieve constipation.
- Do not use laxatives. The continued use of laxatives
cleans out the "friendly" intestinal bacteria and leads to
chronic constipation.
- Eat high-fiber foods such as fresh fruits, raw green leafy
vegetables, whole-grain oatmeal, wheat-bran, and brown rice
daily. Also eat asparagus, beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage,
carrots, kale, okra, peas, sweet potatoes, and whole grains.
Eat prunes, apricots, or figs-these are the best natural
laxatives.
- Fiber supplements such as Metamucil should only be used in
extreme cases. Allow the AMPFLORACEL time to recondition
your body back to normal regularity.
- Drink more water! This is important when adding fiber to
the diet. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day,
whether you are thirsty or not. Sip the water slowly.
When beginning your diet it is extremely helpful to keep a
food diary so you can immediate locate what foods are good
and bad for you. It's a helpful way to keep track of your
diet and teaches you about your body. Taking a natural
supplement is very important to help in the absorption of
nutrients in your body. Without the proper absorption of
nutrients your body can not allow proper healing. Taking a
natural supplement like AMP Floracel can help your body to
absorb proper nutrients and distribute them throughout your
entire body. This will allow the healing process to take
place. Managing a positive attitude, balancing your food
intake, and utilizing nutritional natural healing is key to
assisting you in the healing process.
