Ghee although lactose free is not an IBS friendly oil and it is very high in fat in particular the bad kind of fats.

Ghee contains 32% monounsaturated, 65% saturated, and 3% polyunsaturated fats. Compare this to olive oil, an IBS friendly oil in small amount, which contains 73% monounsaturated, 11% polyunsaturated and 14% saturated fats.

Ghee is primarily composed of saturated fats while olive oil is primarily composed of monosaturated fats that is why Ghee does not burn at high temperatures.

It is definitely an IBS unfriendly oil.

PS - There is an excellent fat calculator at
