I think it’s just trial and error it takes a longtime but it’s worth it in the end but the stress part of it I can’t control if I’m stressed I don’t go out most of my IBS was caused by my big tummy opp it was burnt away by acid reflux I now use apple cider vinegar and honey with soda water as a drink no more acid and I think it’s helped my IBS as well sorry I can’t be of more help you all take care love anita x

Anita Bryant...it took me about a year too! I eat healthier than I ever did...I have lost a lot of weight...have you.? I have found out if I eat to late in the evening my stomach is terrible the next morning! The holidays was bad...bite here..just a bite of this...! Happy New Year!

My IBS was caused by a big tummy opp I can’t eat anything with additives or perservits in or high in fat so it makes me eat pretty healthy but at first I wrote down everything that upset my tummy it took about a year before I realised what was upsetting my tummy now I’m not to bad I do suffer with stress and that brings it on as well but most of the time I’m okay now hope this helps anita x

I am so glad that I am not the only one who can find no correlation between what I eat and more specifically the time I eat it and when it affects my bowel....if it affects it. If is driving me nuts. I have been keeping a food and movements diary for weeks now.

Hi Anita,
Thanks for your response! This is my year to commit to eating healthier. I can’t wait to have the results you’re experiencing. Just to be able to know what foods, times of eating, and triggers set me off is going to be so helpful. Thanks for giving me encouragement and hope!
