Part 4: Diet and Nutrition for IBS

Living with IBS can seem next to impossible at times. It seems like everything you eat causes a flare-up and no matter what you do, you still find yourself running to the bathroom (or not!) all the time.

In order to properly deal with your IBS symptoms, it’s a good idea to become familiar with the foods that trigger your flare-ups and the foods that can ease the discomfort in your intestines.

IBS Trigger Foods

- Foods containing gluten: bread, pasta, pastries, cookies.
- Dairy products like cheese, milk, sour cream, ice cream and yogurt.
- Egg yolks
- Margarine
- Red meat
- Poultry
- Nuts
- Anything deep-fried
- Chocolate
- Potato chips, corn chips, etc
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Carbonated beverages
- Coffee
- Artificial sugars

Healthy Food Options For IBS Sufferers

You can combat your IBS symptoms and most likely experience immediate relief by eating the following foods:

- Fish
- Dark, leafy green vegetables
- Citrus fruits
- Starchy foods like rice, potatoes and soy.
- Bread and pasta - provided they are gluten-free.

Does The Time of Day Affect My Digestion?

Yes, yes, yes! Eating late at night can cause you:

1. to not get enough sleep or enough good sleep, as your body will be working through the night to digest the food and
2. to have digestion problems and IBS symptoms like constipation and diarrhea.

Also, if you find that eating three heavy meals a day causes your symptoms to go on a rampage, try breaking up those meals into smaller ones throughout the day. The load will be lighter on your GI tract and you’ll most likely suffer less from troublesome bloating.

A Special Treat For You!

Now, as a special gift to those who opted into my free four-day IBS mini-course, here’s a delicious recipe created by Nicci. She’s been gluten free for two years now and can vouch that this recipe is 100% gluten-free, which means, IBS-friendly!

GLUTEN – FREE  “YUMMY” CHOCOLATE CAKE

(For chocolate lovers everywhere)

Ingredients for the cake:

5 oz gluten-free blended flour
or
4 oz gluten-free blended flour - plus
1 oz Buckwheat flour  -  this second combination gives a slightly nutty texture
1 level tsp gluten-free baking powder
1 oz cocoa powder
6 oz butter – slightly softened
6 oz castor sugar
3 large eggs
1 dessert-spoon water

Ingredients for the icing:
5 oz icing sugar
1 oz cocoa
6 oz butter

Method:

Preheat oven to 200c  (gas mark 6, 400f); grease 2 x 7” or 8” sponge tins.
I use an electric food processor / mixer, but depending on your muscles I am sure a large bowl and a wooden spoon would work just as well.

First of all, mix the butter and castor sugar until it is a very pale version of the butter’s original color.  Next add the eggs and a couple of dessertspoons of the dry ingredients.  (My mother told me that this avoids curdling…).  As soon as these have blended into a smooth mixture add everything else and mix until combined, to form a smooth, fairly fluid mixture – fluid enough to pour into the tins steadily, and not so runny that it’s the consistency of chocolate flavored milk!

When you have put an even quantity of mixture in each tin, place the tins in the oven. (It doesn’t seem to make a difference which shelf they go on in my oven – just don’t take a shower and forget them!)

Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes; I would check after 15 minutes because some ovens bake faster than others……perhaps that’s where the shelf position comes in?  If the cake is springy to the touch and is beginning to shrink slightly from the side of the tins  - it’s done.
Or use the tried and tested ‘knife in the center of the cake’ method, i.e. if the knife is ‘clean’ after being plunged (carefully) and withdrawn from the deepest part of the cake, then it’s cooked.

Turn out the two halves of the cake onto a wire cooling rack – side by side – and ensure they are completely cool before attempting to ice.

To make the icing simply blend all the ingredients – beat out all the lumps – and, depending on your personal preference, put equal amounts of icing between the two sponges and on top, or more in the middle and less on top, or vice versa!  When the finished cake is constructed please remember that it should be eaten within 2 days, because of the high butter content.  For the same reason keep in a sealed container away from other foods which may taint the flavor.

On average, in my experience, once out this cake is usually eaten within 24-30 hours…after all, folk must sleep!

Doesn’t that sound delicious? Living with IBS doesn’t mean you’re going to have to give up everything that tastes good from here on out. In fact, you could just find these foods and lifestyle practices make you feel better than you ever have felt before.

Peace, Prosperity and Healing,

Warmest Regards
