Many people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) find that adjusting their die can provide relief from the bloating, constipation and diarrhea characterized by this condition. To alleviate diarrhea, sufferers should reduce intake of caffeine, alcohol, milk products, fat, gas-producing foods such as beans, cabbage and broccoli as well as artificial sweeteners. Additional fiber, drinking plenty of liquids, particularly water and adequate exercise will reduce constipation. Eating slowly also alleviates symptoms.
