The group offers these suggestions:
* Create a schedule for meals, and stick to it.
* Instead of three large meals, eat smaller meals throughout the day.
* Chew your food carefully and eat slowly.
* Eat foods high in fiber, such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
* Drink plenty of water, while avoiding caffeine and alcohol.
* Keep a diary of any IBS symptoms and the corresponding foods you eat -- to see if there's an association between a particular food and onset of IBS.
