IBS is a complex disorder that the brightest scientific minds don't understand. But they are trying.
A good place to start is to follow Heather's EFI diet which is the primary purpose of this board. And ask questions about the diet and how to manage individual symptoms.
There lots of people with loads of experience that can help answer simple questions and interpret recent IBS findings in a simple way when possible.
If a new proven IBS management technique is found you are more likely to hear about on the board than from your GP or GI doctor. If something technical catches your eye and you want to know how you might use it then post a question asking for a simple explanation. Some times people can point you to a document you can print off and take to your doctor for further explanation or investigation.
Almost everyone on the board will tell that IBS is an individual thing. It involves a lot of trial and error. You are likely to run into many dead ends. The resources on this board will provide you with the best clues they can. It will be up to you find your individual solutions. It will be up to us to support you
