How to Cure IBS With Home Remedies

IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic ailment; and unfortunately, there's no cure. But there are ways to stop constipation, bloating, diarrhea and pain.

Instructions

1. Control stress. Excess worrying triggers IBS, and diarrhea is likely to occur. Learn how to relax and stop "sweating the small stuff."

2. Eat fiber-rich foods. Inadequate fiber consumption results in hard and infrequent stools. Regulate stools with fiber capsules and daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

3. Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration can aggravate IBS and cause dehydration. To cure IBS with home remedies, drink plenty of fluids--especially water--to maintain soft, regular stools.

4. Eat smaller meals. Large meals often result in bloating and gas. Don't overeat. Instead, consume four to six small meals a day.

5. Keep your body active. Exercise regulates bowel movements, and frequent activity helps you maintain a healthy digestive tract.

6. Avoid gassy foods. Certain foods increase gas and bloating. Avoid or limit diary products, artificial sweetners, carbonated drinks, alcohol, fatty foods and certain vegetables (cauliflower, lettuce and broccoli).
