Did any of you IBS people ever see the 2004 Tom Hanks movie called Ladykillers? One of the characters in the movie explains that he met his girlfriend, "Mountain Girl" at an "Irritable Bowel Singles" weekend.
For an IBS sufferer, that is the funniest line in the movie.
NO cheese, bread, an other bloaty things for a bit...
Try more chicken broth, fresh.. instant pot...no added salt or other things... It worked for my pets,,, poor lil guy hasn't thrown up in a couple days... Fresh chicken seems to be helping... so now I am trying it for myself....
I have seen proven success with a good friend who suffered for 26 years before she found a liquid aloe and a few other things that she loves. She is like a new person now. you can email me and I will connect you with her. rhetah@funfuture.net
I would focus on probiotics. Taking a supplement and eating foods that are probiotic rich, raw sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchee and drinks like kumbucha (splg ?). Then I would add prebiotics to my diet. Sprouts, wheatgrass, more sweet potatoes and high fiber foods. Sprouting seeds is one of the easiest ways to add healthy foods to our daily diet and there are tons of options so you can mix it up. All you need is a mason jar and a sprouting lid.
Watch for triggers, anything from food to stress to perfumes can throw our systems into a frenzy.
If you are taking any antibiotics, be sure and take the probiotic 2 hours before or after, this allows enough time for everything to do its job without interacting, basically killing each other. I always take a probiotic supplement for every antibiotic, so 3x daily antibiotics equals 3x daily probiotic. I never have adverse symptoms from antibiotics anymore.
I would also recommend checking out high colonics. They really can help our bodies get back in balance and improve our health. Very weird, but you are dealing with people that choose to do this as a living because they absolutely believe in the health value of doing them.
I hate public bathrooms, so I can't go in them. It causes problems when traveling, but using the above keeps my system processing and healthy. I hope you have as good of luck with it all as I have.

All I have to do to provoke an IBS attack is to wear white jeans.
Thanks for all the tips.
Try syllium seed in juice water at night.. keep adding flluid so you don't choke. it leaves in the morning... usually.
eat lighter foods, smaller portions more often if you need to.
chew gum.
Try more chicken broth, fresh.. instant pot...no added salt or other things...
It worked for my pets,,, poor lil guy hasn't thrown up in a couple days... Fresh chicken seems to be helping... so now I am trying it for myself....
Perhaps some tea to go with the water... Several teas from which to choose.. Try a couple, see if it works....
Walk a bit more, drink more water. have more fun.
