The Elimination Diet is highly effective for IBS management, as food sensitivities and intolerances are major triggers for IBS symptoms in many patients. By systematically removing common triggers like gluten, dairy, and FODMAPs while emphasizing easily digestible whole foods, most IBS patients experience significant symptom reduction. The reintroduction phase helps identify specific triggers, allowing for a personalized long-term dietary approach.
How IBS involves visceral hypersensitivity and altered gut motility that can be triggered by specific food components. The diet removes fermentable carbohydrates that cause gas and bloating, proteins that may trigger immune responses, and additives that affect gut motility. By calming the gut-brain axis and reducing intestinal inflammation, the diet helps normalize bowel function and reduce pain sensitivity.
Key foods White rice, cooked carrots and zucchini, wild-caught fish like cod, spinach, blueberries, quinoa, olive oil, bone broth
