6 Tips for Outsmarting IBS

Maintain healthy eating patterns.
Eating quickly can wreak havoc on digestion. Instead, try to eat small meals regularly throughout the day to get your body used to a schedule. Try to eat at about the same time each day, and never overload your stomach. Slow down your eating pace during mealtime: Sit, relax, and take time to chew your food. Try to avoid on-the-run (or over-the-kitchen-sink) eating. Think of these healthy habits as time invested in training your digestive system to behave.
