This includes trying probiotic yoghurts and making more homemade food from fresh ingredients Keeping a food diary to see if you can connect your symptoms with particular foods is also a good idea. If you can’t see a clear cause and effect or are not seeing an improvement, that’s when it can get confusing. An IBS nutritionist can help you streamline your diet and get results fast.
What about menopause?
