Care
After treatment, you can take these steps to ensure that the IBS symptoms don’t come back. Caring for your bowel and being more conscious about what you eat might help eliminate the risk of future infection. Here are tips to help you:
- Consume high fiber foods like never before.
- Keep yourself hydrated by taking fluid.
- Avoid foods that trigger your symptoms. Some of the foods to avoid include fatty foods, alcohol, fries, high sugar foods and dairy.
- Stop smoking and avoid caffeine.
- Get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly
Your doctor might prescribe certain drugs or laxatives and suggest a few lifestyle changes to help keep IBS away. [5]
