What Are the Diet Recommendations for IBS Constipation?

Q:
What are the diet recommendations for IBS constipation?

A：
People with IBS constipation often suffer from abdominal pain apart from constipation. Such patients may want to seek help at once. The following diet recommendations may help:

  • Eating smaller servings of high-fiber foods such as cabbage, broccoli or legumes may reduce your abdominal cramps.
  • Good sources of fiber include whole-grain bread and cereals, fruits, vegetables, and beans.
  • Dried plums, prune juice, ground flaxseed, and water also help loosen bowels.
  • Stay away from coffee, carbonated drinks, and alcohol. They can slow down your stools. So can processed foods such as chips, cookies, and white bread and rice.
