We have already covered IBS. Now let's find out more about IBS. I understand that keeping to a strict diet that is friendly to you body isn't exactly easy to do. For people with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), there's no comprehensive diet plan to follow. During a flare-up, you might be recommended a soft, low-residue diet, or it could even be a liquid diet for a few days to rest your intestines. Try discovering the cause of your discomfort by doing elimination process. Eliminate certain food for a few days, to see if your intestine flare-up, if not, probably, that food is the trigger food. If, inflammation still persist, put that food back into your menu and try to eliminate another kind of food. You have to do this through trial and error.
