  2. Avoid sudden and drastic changes in lifestyle / diet habits Regular and consistent lifestyle, especially in regard to diet and sleep, may be one of the best ways to manage IBS

  3. Do not copy the food habits / food restrictions of another patient, or arbitrary advice given by anyone. Each IBS patient is unique; what works for one never works for another

  4. A good doctor, who has sound knowledgeable about IBS, will always advice normal diet. Diet restrictions will vary from patient to patient, and can only be decided by the patient himself through personal observation and experience. Doctors who extend whimsical advice don’t know anything about IBS

  5. Regular bowel habits are almost indispensable for best IBS control. It is recommended that regular bowel habits be inculcated from childhood as a vital part of health education

  6. Sufficient hydration through enough fluid intake will prevent exacerbation of IBS in most patients. In most cases, non-irritating fluids like water or milk will prove most beneficial. Only in lactose intolerant patients should all milk products be avoided.

  7. Milk and yoghurt may be very useful in controlling IBS, except in susceptible persons / lactose intolerant patients (in which case all dairy products are to be avoided). Milk protein will form a protective film to save your gut lining. Its pH (6.5) will control acidity, without causing rebound secretion phenomenon. Unless you have lactose intolerance from childhood, milk is the best safeguard in gastritis, ulcer and IBS.

  8. Advice to avoid milk, yet freely consume pot cheese, ice creams and other dairy products, is totally unscientific and irrational. Either you have lactose intolerance or you don’t have it. If yes, avoid all milk / dairy products. If not, consume milk regularly for effective IBS control.

  9. Avoid stress and tension through whatever channels that you find most suitable. Yoga, breathing exercises, walking / jogging, music, or any healthy pastime will aid in IBS control.
