How to Cure IBS With Home Remedies

IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic ailment; and unfortunately, there's no cure. But there are ways to stop constipation, bloating, diarrhea and pain.

Instructions

• 1

  Control stress. Excess worrying triggers IBS, and diarrhea is likely to occur. Learn how to relax and stop "sweating the small stuff."

• 2

  Eat fiber-rich foods. Inadequate fiber consumption results in hard and infrequent stools. Regulate stools with fiber capsules and daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

• 3

  Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration can aggravate IBS and cause dehydration. To cure IBS with home remedies, drink plenty of fluids--especially water--to maintain soft, regular stools.

• 4

  Eat smaller meals. Large meals often result in bloating and gas. Don't overeat. Instead, consume four to six small meals a day.

• 5

  Keep your body active. Exercise regulates bowel movements, and frequent activity helps you maintain a healthy digestive tract.

• 6

  Avoid gassy foods. Certain foods increase gas and bloating. Avoid or limit diary products, artificial sweetners, carbonated drinks, alcohol, fatty foods and certain vegetables (cauliflower, lettuce and broccoli).
