Actually, Heather states on this site that sugar is safe for IBS. However, some people are sensitive to fructose. Have you had the test for fructose malabsorption done?
Don't use low cal sweeteners, those are IBS triggers. Regular table sugar should be OK for you.

Sugar normally is not an IBS trigger.

Sweetners can cause IBS problems. It is better to use white or brown sugar which are safe for IBS.

Do a board search on Stevia; quite a few people have used it with no problems, since it's not artificial. It's also zero calorie. I just started using it this week in my cereal.

Stevia is a synthetic chemical that was cooked up in a laboratory even though it starts off as a sugar molecule. It is made by adding chlorine molecules.Not really natural like they promote it to be.Be careful. Many have had adverse reactions to it. I know some who use it with seemingly no problems. Myself, it causes me gut problems.

I believe you are describing Splenda (sucralose), not stevia, which is an extract from the leaf of a bush commonly grown in Paraguay.

Yeah, Splenda is the chemical. Stevia is an extract from a natural plant, also called Sweetleaf.

Sugar can be a trigger if you have IBS brought on by yeast overgrowth/candida - so to say it's not a trigger might be a bit misleading, as everyone's IBS is different. Anything can be a trigger if you have a sensitive tum

Currently, there is no scientific evidence that there is a link between yeast overgrowth/candida and IBS. This does not mean that individuals with candida can not have IBS too. There is some evidence that Candida may cause IBS-symptoms like symptoms but not IBS.
White and brown sugar is not a trigger for IBS and they can be consumed in moderate amounts.

Can't argue with that then!! I guess I was speaking from experience, I get IBS symptoms when I have candida overgrowth - it's odd that they say you can get IBS symptoms but not IBS?!?! That's confusing?

More and more research is indicating that probiotics may play a role in management of IBS, even offering probiotics as prevention, rather than a cure. Studies indicate that probiotics can reduce IBS symptoms. The bowel flora in IBS patients can be "out of whack", I guess....a fungal overgrowth, maybe brought on by things such as antibiotics, birth control pills, etc. If even some IBS patients are helped with probiotics and moderating intake of sugars, then what exactly is IBS?

Indeed a few - but not many - probiotics are proving to be effective for the management, not the cure, of IBS. I don't know of any research showing the probiotics can prevent IBS.
Heather has a good description of IBS on this web page. More specifically, IBS - a syndrome - is defined by the Rome criteria given on this web page. The technical details of the Rome III criteria are discussed in this article
