Imagine you are at a party, enjoying yourself, mingling with friends and family and really having a good time.

You could not have wished for a better ending to the day when all of a sudden you feel a tightness in your stomach. It is a strong pain that grips you right in the stomach and the next thought you have is "where is the toilet?"

Sadly you know what it is. It is the pain and diarhea associated with your irritable bowel syndrome. You know something you have eaten has triggered that pain and diarrhea but unfortunately you do not know which food it was.

You know from that moment onwards that your evening is ruined.

Later on in this article I will reveal a resource that will provide you with the most comprehensive list of foods to avoid with IBS but we will look at 3 things you can you do to help your irritable bowel syndrome.

1. Gluten: This is a protein that is commonly found in a lot of grains including but not restricted to wheat, oats, rye, spelt, and barley. The first thing you need to do is go on a gluten free diet for about 2 weeks.

This means you have to pay attention to the foods you eat and read food labels and even over the counter medications because some of the foods and medications that you least expect may contain gluten.

You should see a noticeable improvement in your symptoms once you eliminate gluten from your diet.

2. Coffee: I used to suffer from IBS myself so I have experienced some of the symptoms e.g. gas, bloating, stomach making noises, spastic contractions of the colon, stomach cramps etc.

I noticed a significant improvement in my IBS symptoms the very next day I stopped drinking coffee.

You see coffee is an acidic food and it will increase the acidity of your stomach. If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, it is important that your stomach is not too acidic.

One of the ways you can reduce your stomach acidity is by consuming more alkaline foods.

3. Tailor your diet to your personal biochemistry: This means that you have to eat according to your nutritional type. We are not all designed alike and one diet does not fit all.

This means you have to know your specific nutritional needs according to your personal biochemistry, metabolism and genetic makeup.

We have touched on 3 steps to IBS freedom but there is a comprehensive list of foods to avoid with ibs and other simple steps you can take that will ensure you never experience any of the symptoms of IBS again.

What if you could get rid of the painful and uncomfortable feeling of nausea that comes with irritable bowel syndrome? How differently would you live from day to day knowing that you never have to deal with the IBS again? This article will reveal some simple strategies that will make living ibs free a reality.

The truth is finding the exact cause of nausea in IBS sufferers can be a very difficult task because each person seems to have his or her own individual triggers. The result is that what triggers the nausea in person A is not likely to be what triggers the symptom in person B.

It is therefore very crucial that if you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome that you know the foods which trigger your symptoms. One of the best methods to achieve this is to keep a food and symptoms diary.

You simply note down everything you eat on a daily basis for about two to four weeks and also note what symptoms you get and when you get them.

But what is Irritable Bowel Syndrome? It is as a functional disorder of the digestive system. This means that the digestive system of the sufferer is not functioning normally as it should although there are no identifiable physical causes or reasons to explain why.

So if you were to take a peek inside the digestive system of a sufferer it would look perfectly normal.

Apart from IBS nausea, other common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome include bloating, flatulence, constipation or/and diarrhea, abdominal pain and spastic contractions of the colon.

We discussed earlier it was important for you to know what your triggers are because prescription drugs such as anticholinergics only mask the symptoms of the ailment, once you stop taking the drugs, the symptoms return and usually with a vengeance.

The second thing you can do to eliminate your IBS Nausea is to use pure peppermint oil. Peppermint is known to have anti-spasmodic action and analgesic (pain-killing) properties to help soothe your digestive tract, ease any tightness relieve abdominal pain, and stop you from feeling nauseous.
