Answer by jason c
oily foods tend to aggravate IBS in some individuals.Also,if a patient has celiac disease/non tropical sprue,wheat is a definite no-no.

assuming if a patient has IBS+celiac disease,consumption of wheat will cause the immune system to act up.swelling of the intestinal lining,severe inflammations(due to an allergy like effect to gluten prteins in wheat) all lead to abdominal pain,flatulence,severe diarrhoea(possibly bloody),fatigue and so on.

What do you think? Answer below!

I’ve read that you aren’t supposed to eat wheat somewhere, then I read somewhere else that you are supposed to eat wheat, grains, and fiber!! Which one are you supposed to stay away from? This is so confusing.

Please help! I need to know which foods I am supposed to eat and which foods I am supposed to stay away from because I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
