Answer by Animallover
I did until I figured out that my trigger food is fried chicken and large meals. Now I just avoid those things and I’m good. I still have occassional problems but I can deal with it. Also, I have a theory… people get diarrhea because something causes the food to move too quickly though the digestion system and so it doesn’t form completely and the quickness causes cramping and such. Eating sugary sweets slows down digestion because it takes the body longer to break down the sugar molecules than it does to break down carbs and proteins. Therefore, if IBS victims were to eat a sugary dessert immediately after their meals, wouldn’t it slow down digestion a bit and prevent the diarrhea? Just a theory.
