What Can I Do to Manage My Symptoms Better?

low FODMAP diet. I'm about to start it myself. it cuts out all foods that contain sugars people with GI disorders to sensitive to for a few weeks, and then you reintroduce foods slowly to find out what triggers your IBS.

I have had lifelong IBS. As a kid I used to get the cramping after eating that you mentioned. I recently found success with taking Beano (they have a generic version that I use). I found that there are certain fodmap foods that I have trouble digesting due to missing good bacteria. Good quality probiotics helped a bit, but the digestive enzyme was a game changer. I have a hard time with beans, cauliflower, lentils, and uncooked cabbage and broccoli. For my gut inflammation I have been taking garlic oil twice a day and I can't believe how much this has worked. I hope you find relief!
