Artificial sweeteners like splenda etc. are no no's for IBSers. They irritate the digestive tract terribly. Sugar, on the other hand, causes no problems. I know, which one is it that they say it's "MADE from sugar"... well, chemically altered, sure. Avoid them.
I find that sometimes too much sugar can be a bad thing, but generally, sweeten your life with a spoonful o' sugar whenever you like. Just make sure you keep up with your soluble fibre. It's likely another ingredient other than the sugar that's causing the problem. Just avoid high fructose corn syrup like the plague, high fats, real chocolate (unless it's cocoa powder thenn go nuts), and other triggers.
