Have you heard of the FODMAP diet? It can really help with IBS. You start by eliminating all foods with FODMAPS[1] for six weeks and then gradually reintroduce foods from each of the FODMAP categories. It’s recommended to have a dietician/nutritionist help with the temporary diet. It was pioneered by Monash University. [ https://www.monashfodmap.com ]

I've read about that, but it's really hard to find an example diet and it's not like most of those things appear on the nutrition labels.
Also they say not to avoid all of those long term, just temporarily.
The FODMAP diet help me understand that my condition was genetic.
