When it comes to IBS and diet, one of the best things you can do to minimize symptoms is to avoid sugar.

Sugar and highly concentrated sugar-containing products like fruit juices are strong IBS trigger foods. Similarly, IBS patients need to avoid alcoholic beverages, which are often laden with sugar.

Finally, tomatoes and tomato products should also be avoided. In addition to the naturally occurring sugar, the acidity and nature of tomatoes and tomato products are common IBS trigger foods that can irritate a sensitive bowel.
