Ibs question

My husband has IBS and cares not what he eats 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do try to eat healthier when I cook at home but that doesn't stop him from getting Taco Bell for lunch

I have Crohn's which is a form of IBS and I just don't eat the things that give me a flare up. Haven't found much but for me it's caffeine and pure orange/apple juice so far.

He should know what triggers his IBS. So figure that out first! I have crohns as well, and I know spice is a big trigger for me so I avoid all forms of spice.

That is kind of you to think of him. Its different for everyone so hopefully he will get to know what is good for him. Suggestions for seasonings: black pepper and salt, lemon juice, basil etc. Avoid: creamy things, anything with too much dairy, garlic, onions, oily things. I eat gluten free, and soya milk on my cereal. Keep things in moderation, anything I eat too much of is a bad idea. Things can change too. Years ago I would flare up all the time due to not knowing what was making me poorly. Much less sensitive now. Best thing I ever did was start taking Symprove (and working out over time what I could eat)

My diet is pretty boring, but it helps control my IBS a lot. Mostly I eat rice, cooked in chicken stock or with chicken stock powder. Root vegetables steamed and then sautéed with a little bit of butter, chicken stock powder and turmeric. Turmeric is really good for the GI tract as it has anti inflammatory properties. Mostly chicken, but sometimes beef, again spiced with turmeric, salt and black pepper. Everyone is different so he should try to go on elimination diets, for 1 week eliminate 1 food/potential trigger and see if it makes a difference. Gluten, dairy, soy, and citrus are some of the most common triggers, caffeine, high protein, sugar, cruciferous vegetables, and fried foods are pretty common triggers as well.
