  •  Caffeine containing drinks like coffee
  • Carbonated drinks like soda and soft drinks, especially those that contain artificial sweeteners (like sorbitol) or high-fructose corn syrup

Other ways to maximize the symptoms are: 
  •  Eating a healthy, balanced diet. 
  •  Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day (especially for people with diarrhea). It is unclear whether this helps IBS symptoms, but it can help treat aridity that sometimes happens with diarrhea. 
  • Avoiding large meals that take more time to digest, which can cause cramping and diarrhea in people with IBS. If this happens to you, try eating 3 or 4 small meals a day. Or,    eat less at each of your usual 4 meals.
