Is there any home remedy for irritable bowel syndrome?

Condition analysis:
My form of IBS is different, IBS-Leaky Gas, so I don’t have first-hand experience of IBS-D. I suspect though that constipation could be a factor with IBS-D. A lot of IBS sufferers have alternating IBS - constipation then diarrhea. The diarrhea can be a form of paradoxical diarrhea, meaning the same foods that cause constipation then cause diarrhea, as the colon tries to get rid of the backlog. If you have chronic IBS-D, maybe try a diet similar to mine - which is strictly Paleo - just meat & seafood and mostly vegetables. A lot of people with IBS-D claim that fibre makes their diarrrhea worse but I’ve found that low FODMAP (low flatulogenic) and low starch vegetables are the best for me. Maybe try to gradually introduce salads into your diet - cucumber, tomato, carrot etc. IBS-D could also be a form of incomplete evacuation.

Some of us have to spend an inordinate amount of time in the loo to fully evacuate. It’s a tough balancing act. We need to evacuate fully every day as we don’t want to create a backlog but we don’t want excess fibre that causes colonic spasms and / or gas. It takes a lot of experimenting to find your optimal diet. You absolutely need to keep a food diary as it’s too easy to forget the effects of different food combinations day to day. Meat is difficult to digest late at night and generally for any digestive complaints it’s always recommended to eat meat earlier in the day and try to just have veges at night. If you get too hungry, try just having meat no later than say 7.30 pm. Give yourself at least 2 hours for digestion then go to bed.

Instructions:
Oat Bran: Eating oat bran on a daily basis will give your body the much-needed fiber and help reduce the symptoms of IBS to a great extent. When you eat oat bran, the stools become soft and get passed down painlessly and easily. Plus, it has antioxidants, protein, calcium, iron, thiamin, phosphorus, riboflavin, magnesium, and zinc.

-- Add one tablespoon of oat bran to your breakfast cereal daily.
-- Also, you can mix one part oat bran with two parts water and cook it for a few minutes. Then eat it like oatmeal.
-- You can also add one tablespoon of oat bran to yogurt, a smoothie or a salad.

Note: When you first start eating oat bran you may have gas and bloating, but these symptoms will decrease as the body adjusts to it.
