Food Choices
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

So I have decided I am sick of the stomach pain, nausea, throwing up, and the other end issues. With no help from the dr’s. I finally am going to start giving up gluten and see if that helps eat a little better, and cleaner. More veggies that kind of stuff. Is there anything that others have tried that has helped, vitamins giving up certain things? Any help or incite would be very appreciated.. thank you

I’ve tried probiotics when I am sick with vomiting that continues on and off for weeks. I know getting rid of gluten can sometimes help, but my GI has recommended FODMAP diets and trying to rid of certain items each week to see what helps me feel better (ex: dairy, fructose, etc.) I know for me personally getting rid of dairy for only 3-4 days I felt a lot better. Best of luck considering almost every food we eat contains some sort of gluten/dairy! Hope you find the cause of your pain!

Keep a Food diary.
Eliminate one food at a time. To see if that particular food was a trigger. For your symptoms.
Reintroduce the foods. That are not triggers. Back into your diet Slowly.
Be careful with what you eat and 🍸 drink.
Especially when eating out.
As you can have a very bad reaction to unidentified foods in the meals.

Keep your mental, physical and spiritual health and your emotions in check.
As Stress is a number one issue with IBS.

Looking after Yourself.
Should be your main priority.

Keep on learning about your own health conditions and issues.
As everyone who has IBS has different medical issues and health problems.

And have boundaries in place.
Just saying NO.
Can sometimes help.
Don't take on more than you can handle.

Keep your water💧 intake up.
And exercise regularly.
Even if it's just 🚶‍♀️walking around the block.

And 📚 read.
What other's with IBS on this site has put.
As something may help you and your health conditions and problems.
Also read 📚 books, blogs, use the internet, talk with other's that have IBS. You might even find that someone else, that you know has IBS. It could be a family member or a co-worker.

Look for medicine 💊 that helps you. And that doesn't give you bad side effects.
As the Doctor's don't know everything about IBS.

Good luck 👍 on sorting out your health conditions.
