IBS as a whole is still a less understood disease in medical science. In fact, the conventional treatment is not effective in many cases. Almost 50% of patients today have opted for alternative medicines and methods to fight the disease.
In this light, it is important to understand the correct IBS diet for the patient. A sure systematic approach followed by many medical practitioners is to keep a diary of foods intake over at least one week and analyze the data. This is a systematic approach to finding especially allergic food components and is a major input in forming correct IBS diet for the patient.
