About IBS Treatment Center
===========================
Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his staff have successfully helped over 10,000 people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 2005.
Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are suffering alone at home and are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert (much different than a gastroenterologist), a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS.
Patients work with us from around the country and the world via our telemedicine services. Get back your life! Work with us via telemedicine. Visit the IBS Specialists at ibstreatmentcenter.com

@@jensandersen7011 Most generic recommendations for IBS recommend avoiding caffeine. However, I do not find that relevant for most IBS patients. Which do you think it is for you?

[@SIBODigestionHealthTips-if8oc]

If you have gastritis and GERD/acid reflux, then avoiding caffeine is super important. At least until the stomach and adjoining areas are healed. Caffeine may also weaken or make the LPS inactive and items can travel up from the stomach. Again, acid-related issues. It wouldn't hurt to cut out all items and then reintroduce to see what the culprits are.@@jensandersen7011

Lactose free milk works for me. I spent several years using goats milk before the lactose free was available. Gluten free bread used to be a real problem, but not these days. You can even have a pizza - gluten free base and buffalo mozzarella - but make sure it is buffalo not cows.

@@queenj1203 Sounds frustrating for you. It can be tough and embarrassing with tons of gas. I know this may sound simple but are you chewing your food properly and taking time when you eat?

You shouldn’t have to fast and be hungry. Do you get any other symptoms? Such as tummy pains, bloating, nausea, loose stools etc? Take care 💪🏼

[@elisabethhumphrey2115]

Low FODMAP was a game changer for me. I always knew fatty foods set off my stomach but cutting out certain veggies and fruit - wow! Like stone fruit or watermelon - cauliflower too. Some foods make me gassy (beans) where as others (watermelon) will liquify my bowel contents and make me call in sick to work. The list you provide for Low FODMAP fruits and veg is pretty short so I'd recommend people look into it. I think the biggest problem is compliance. You have to commit. For me I've been pretty good with my diet because the pain and suffering isn't worth it. Also get your iron, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins checked. Low iron can cause all kinds of digestion problems. Lesser known symptom and nutrient deficiencies are common in people with gut issues.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thanks for sharing your story and pointing those things out!

[@symphony357]

yes, compliance is the key. I'll try it for one month.

Folks, be sure to rule out a persistent illness from campylobacter poisoning caused by once eating undercooked poultry. I used to think I had IBS until I saw a specialist who gave me antibiotics as an initial treatment (cipro I believe). While it took a number of months to fully recover after years of being sick, those antibiotics did the job. It was not IBS after all and I've been about 98 percent well ever since. And I was very ill for a long time before the antibiotics. Campylobacter poisoning is an extremely common illness I read.

[@alisonfraser8231]

This has never been part of a doctor visit for me, so thank you. Salads, nuts and beans are the foods I could eat every day without problems. After going strictly gluten-free, my lifelong dairy intolerance (along with eczema and psoriasis symptoms) quickly went away. I still stick to cheese and yoghurt for dairy. I prefer cheeses lower in lactose, so I may be lactose-intolerant but undiagnosed. I find my IBS flares up a lot with intense and prolonged stress like financial or interpersonal issues, performance anxiety or a big evaluation. I drank lightly but fairly regularly in my early 20’s at a time when symptoms were horrendous but do not drink at all since my 40’s, never smoked and avoid processed foods. I do not diet or watch my weight. In my youth I dieted to the point of disordered eating. Starving to alleviate symptoms was the gateway to starvation for weight loss and the positive feedback that comes with a smaller body and increased productivity. As a 50-year-old I now eat anything I want to at any time of day, in any quantity, combination and order I feel. If I want ice cream for supper or a bowl of mashed potatoes for breakfast, that’s what I have. I exercise regularly for stress relief and metabolism. I focus on building strength and endurance. I do drink one coffee but strive to take it with steamed milk. As a person with food allergies, avoiding even trace amounts has made a great difference. I no longer dine in restaurants, other than a trusted all-beef burger or gf pizza. My regular diet utilizes a lot of lean meat and veg slow-cooked, beans, cheese, rice and potatoes. I don’t find food is much of a problem if I stick to this. I am working on the emotional triggers by working at building a low-stress routine and a life I don’t want a vacation from.

I just experienced an IBS flare up during my trip to Mexico. On my first dinner, had a Cantarito, is a cocktail drink made usually with Mezcal, but this drink was made with Tequila. Had a Rib Eye stake, this cut had a lot of fat in it, not impressed. Not thinking about the consequences, added spicy salsas and took at a bite of a hot pepper. That night sleep pretty well, but the next morning I spend my entire day literally in the bathroom! My IBS was out of control, had to see a local Gastro who prescribed medication and that was the only way that I was able to feel much better. From the list of things not to consume, I definitely need to stay away from spicy food, greasy food, and caffeine.

It’s diagnosed by symptoms there is no test … Some think patient has IBS and here it is a food intolerances ..… so did I have IBS as I was diagnosed with ? All I know is when I ate well 95 percent of the time and had “triggers” only 5 percent of the time I was back to normal. This was all I did and still do and my bowels have never been happier and stools absolutely wonderful ! I sit I go one long solid stool and I am done ! Not to be gross lol Also I did not take any medicine ever !! I tried the food route and it was all that was needed Every morning I have raw oats, handful of organic blueberries in it and walnuts and some honey… if I want like an hour later I sometimes will have a couple of eggs I only eat some sour dough bread Every day I have a bean salad (I take beano ) OTC before i eat and zero gas bloating I also keep in mind “had” IBS D so you might think all this soluble fiber made worse NoPe So this Dr is correct ! I eat baked fish 5 times a week, and yams If I eat dairy I always every single time I take lactaid I drink a liter sometimes a tad more of Evian water I drink coffee morning and afternoon I use Evian Now I eat great most of the week but last night I had spicy chicken wings 4 and a chocolate croissant lol a year ago I would have been in pain and running to the bathroom nope … fine Eat healthy !!!

[@cydkriletich6538]

I’m surprised there aren’t thousands of IBS specialists, since IBS is so prevalent t in the U.S. that one of my doctors said it should be called ABS, for America Bowel Syndrome! Many of the foods you mentioned as good can sometimes bother my gut; but, it’s possible that I’m in a flare when it happens. My last horrible episode was just 3 weeks ago and lasted for almost two weeks. It happened after I shoveled a bunch of delicious, plump, moist dried apricots down my throat while preparing a too-late dinner. When I bought the apricots, I checked to make sure that they had no added sugar, which is oddly rather common with dried fruit. But in my haste to check for sugar, I overlooked what I believe was the culprit…that sulphur dioxide used as a preservative in most pre-packaged dried fruit. It was awful, and I have an appointment to see a gastroenterologist the day after tomorrow. I also have a history of chronic, low-grade gastritis, GERD, and several instances of hospitalization because is severe pancreatitis, so my gut problems are much more than IBS. I am considering a FODMAP diet, and I also need to get off of the PPI I take for the GERD, and the Gabapentin I take for nerve damage from low back surgery 20 years ago. Both of those drugs can cause severe gut issues. Thank you for this video. I am subscribing.

The GERD could easily be related to the rest of it, and the gastritis likely is as well. Even the pancreatitis can be related. And good thinking with regard to the meds too. I agree. We'd love to work with you to help you figure it all out and help you get off some of the meds.

If you suffer ibs and body ache try getting off all processed foods and just stick to real foods--- avoid gluten-- dairy-- sugar-- red meats and stay away from aspartame in diet sodas-- or artificial sweeteners--- give it ago and yr body aches will be gone and so will be yr ibs--- good luck ❤

[@90xolove]

I had a lot of relief from the low FODMAPs diet and it was shocking to have normal stools again 2 weeks in. It is recommended to slowly add back most foods to see what your triggers are and with most of the foods I have reintroduced I feel the IBS flaring up again so I'm going back to the low FODMAPs. It's really hard the first few weeks, but if you find relief you will get used to it so I highly recommend giving it a try!

People with food allergis, sensetive, nervous, depressed have usually IBS. Is not just dieta we eat, is also physiological in my case. I have IBS C for 30 years of and on. Is awful to live like this. My life is limited, can go on vacation, cant travel, because traveling trigger IBS C in my case. Any time I get upset I get IBS C. I exercise, meditate, eat 2 meals a day, cant drink alcohol. I wish that there would be more IBS doctors, I have to go to Holistic doctor for help, and pay big bucks. I found that Cirtrucel is best fiber for IBS C, magnesium citrate, Cleanse Smart by Renew life. Please dont get hooked on laxatives, I depleted my electrolites and was hospitalized. Also when you have IBS make sure you eat protin 3 times a day, fiber 28 g. daily, drink water, take good probiotic Mega sporebiotic is good. Stay happy find hobby and dont be around toxic people.

[@jgreen9361]

Everyone is different. The gut biome is extremely complex and any food exclusion list has to be taken as a list of “this has worked for some people”. There are a lot of things to think about. Addressing the food triggers does not address the root cause. This is the most important one. You may still be doing something fundamental that is damaging your gut biome. The list 7:39 may be a lot more nuanced for you. Example. Only lettuce might be a problem, in which case try lemon juice on it before any other dressing. If this works, you may have the same problem with raw cabbage in coleslaw. Grated carrot, grated celeriac, avocado, tomato, peppers may be fine. It may only be modern apples like Braeburn that you have an an issue with. (Waxy skins that have been bred for long shelf life are different to most heritage varieties of apple) Nuts may not be a problem. Not chewing them enough might be. Try them crushed in a nut roast. Or crushed pistachio on a salad. Fatty food is very likely not just a trigger but a likely root cause. Cut out any processed meats as well, like ham and bacon. Steak and any red meat may be a core problem Refined sugar is another candidate for the root cause. Modern emulsifiers in processed foods are very likely to be a root cause. Whole grains and brown rice may not be an issue. It could well be that your gut is just not used to them and you tend to overload. Instead of brown rice try one part brown rice, one part white basmati rice, one part lentil. It has a much more calming effect on the gut. The thing to try to apply is that, although there will be a root cause, the bigger variety of food you can eat, the better protected your gut will be. Food yo-yo 7:39 isn’t good either. Spicy curry loaded with tomatoes one night. Creamy rich cheese sauce loaded pasta the next night. Big lump of meat that takes 10 days to digest the next night. Crappy snacks and a bar of chocolate and a sugar hit that strips your gut biome gut lining the next. Greasy take away the next night. Healthy salad the next night. No wonder your gut can’t cope with digesting raw salad at the end of that week.

[@SIBODigestionHealthTips-if8oc]

The foods you are listing are mostly high FODMAP and ensure to pay attention to quantities as well.

[@jgreen9361]

@@SIBODigestionHealthTips-if8oc I am not convinced that the problems people experience with so called Fodmap foods, that are also whole foods, eaten for thousands of years, are the root cause of the problem. Very little research has been done on the cause, most of the research has been done on dietary intervention. Mono and disaccharides of fatty acids are in the vast majority of modern long life foods on supermarket shelves, that is a big and obvious red flag to look at. There are other “modern” ultra processed food ingredient candidates too. There is a rethink going on with gluten. New research is showing that 8 (possibly as many as 9)out of ten people with “gluten intolerance” are targeting the wrong primary culprit for their dietary health problem. I think it likely that more research will reveal a similar problem with so called Fodmap foods.

Thank you. This video was super helpful. I suspect I have IBS. I've been suffering from hemorrhoids since my early 20's. The blood in my stool, the itching and the pain has always been terrible. I struggle both with constipation and diarrhea and unfortunately, my physician never mentioned IBS to me and how it could be related to triggering my hemorrhoids. I feel like both conditions are occurring for me in a vicious cycle. They tell me to take more fiber for my constipation and yet I find my body can't handle it very well and it then switches to diarrhea. Then back and forth it goes. It's hard to pinpoint what foods trigger the symptoms in the first place because I'd be completely fine eating all kinds of foods for weeks and then suddenly get hit with a flare up. I do think spicy foods is definitely problematic now in my late 30's whereas it never bothered me when I was young. I've only recently found a fantastic herbal medicine for managing the diarrhea and cramps (it's called Seirogan, it's a Japanese herbal medicine and an absolute life saver!) and for the constipation I find eating avocados has been way better for me then prunes or anything else that is usually prescribed. The constipation is really hard to manage. I'm trying probiotics too but it will take time to see whether that helps in the long run. But these are only managing symptoms. I don't know what foods are triggering them in the first place. I'm South Asian so eliminating a lot of the foods mentioned will be so very difficult :(

Steps to heal IBS (Note- While doing these, if you have bad period of irritation do intermittent fasting for not more than 2 days, only have your first meal by 2pm so that your body can rest and give you relief): 1. Identify your triggers 2. Your mental state is probably about 60% of the healing process, so realise that being healed isn’t really = happiness, people have very bad digestive issues daily and they may or may not have IBS, but digestive problems is a general problem of mankind; don’t let it ruin your mental health. 3. **Start doing Low FODMAPS and if you’re not Vegan, you can do carnivore or only fish based meal as one of your meals, ideally breakfast. 4. After 6 to 8 weeks blend Okro, Red bell Pepper, Ginger and Turmeric and take about 2 or 3 tablespoons for about 1 week. 5. Start introducing some High FODMAP foods gradually which could still be beneficial to your health like Salads, Fermented Vegetables and Apples especially in your dinner.
