IBS Diary
Devil in the Diet Often times the most significant change in an IBS sufferer's symptoms, is the result of that person's daily diet. If a person consumes foods that are incompatible with them, more symptoms will creep up a few days later or even immediately. Finding the Patterns It is always a good idea to make note of the foods that you eat as well as the symptoms that you experience on a day-to-day basis. This will help you to determine what types of foods are causing your symptoms to flare up. Keeping Stress In-Check It is also good to note the levels of stress that you encounter on a daily basis. This is because stress can affect the onset of your symptoms as well as the severity of your symptoms. Understanding your Body Well For myself, I have documented my symptoms on a daily basis when I was tackling this condition. I was able to determine what food or stress levels would cause my symptoms to flare up as well as the severity of the symptoms.
New Food Allergies I noticed that foods containing milk or wheat were causing my symptoms to flare up. Milk caused immediate reactions whereas wheat triggered my symptoms to be present, a few days later. My diary helped me to pinpoint and connect the type of foods that I consumed, with the patterns of my symptoms. If you would like to know more information about me and IBS, review this section here. You will soon realize that I have come a long ways and so can you.
