Brief Answer:
Complete diet and lifestyle modifications needed
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. IBS needs complete diet and lifestyle modification. You need more fiber and fluids. Avoid problematic foods alcohol, chocolate, caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas, medications that contain caffeine, dairy products, and sugar-free sweeteners such as sorbitol or mannitol.
If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.
Sauerkraut is finely cut cabbage and may increase your gas. Rest it is a good mix up of lactobacilli and other probiotics and can be helpful in IBS. Talk to your gastroenterologist and let them decide what is best for you.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
