What are the best diet suggestions for IBS, and when should symptoms be medically assessed in Europe?

IBS diet explained: low FODMAP approach, fibre modification, trigger foods, and clinical evaluation.

In this episode, we outline three evidence-based dietary strategies for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and how doctors assess ongoing digestive symptoms during an online consultation in the EU.

You’ll learn:

• How the low FODMAP diet may reduce bloating and abdominal pain

• The role of soluble fibre (e.g., psyllium) in IBS-C

• Why certain foods (caffeine, fatty meals, artificial sweeteners) can trigger symptoms

• Differences between IBS-D, IBS-C, and mixed type

• When probiotics may be considered

• Red flag symptoms such as blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, or nocturnal pain

• Situations where medication requests may be declined pending further investigation

We explain how doctors assess bowel habit pattern, symptom duration, dietary history, stress factors, and exclusion of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during an online consultation in the EU. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion and may require testing before confirmation.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where gastrointestinal consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.
