Can Diet Help with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D)?

Yes, dietary changes can make a big difference. A low FODMAP diet, which reduces certain carbs that can trigger symptoms, is often recommended. Keeping a food diary, eating smaller meals, and staying hydrated are also helpful strategies. Some people find the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) useful for short-term relief, but it’s not a long-term solution.
