Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a very complex problem and there is no cure for it. You first need to talk with your doctor and make sure he gave you an accurate IBS diagnosis. In order to be given a clear diagnosis of IBS; there are a battery of tests to take and they all should rule out more serious problems, For more information on the tests to take visit www.TheIBSFormula.com.

Diet to Relieve Constipation
Follow these steps to relieve constipation:
•Add fiber to your diet
•Fiber adds bulk to the large intestines by absorbing water. This results in frequent and easier bowel movements.
•Eat a high fiber diet like fresh fruits and vegetables like raspberries, apples, pears, brussels, peas and wheat grain breads and cereals.
•Slowly increase the fiber intake in your food to avoid excessive gas.
•Drink plenty of water because fiber absorbs water and keeps the stool soft.
•Regular exercise like walking, swimming, or cycling can help in the maintenance of bowel regularity.
•Check with your doctor before making changes in your diet and you can add fiber slowly in your diet for the body to get adjusted to the change.
