  The low FODMAP diet has been shown to be effective in keeping bloating, diarrhoea and wind at bay in people with IBS. The low FODMAP diet aims to reduce the number of short chain carbohydrates in the diet, which are poorly absorbed. These foods include wheat, rye, legumes/ lentils, lactose, many fruits and vegetables with excess fructose, onion, garlic, honey and sugar alcohols. 
  
  Other ways to help manage IBS include taking probiotics, avoiding excessive fat, caffeine or alcohol, daily exercise and reducing stress. Probiotics, namely lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, are friendly bacteria.
  
  I think you may benefit from consulting an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) for a more tailored low FODMAP meal plan ensuring adequate fibre and inclusion of all food groups.
