A new blood test may reveal your personal IBS food triggers

Audio. Ground coriander. The warm, citrusy, gentle spice that soothes IBS

It's a delicious carminative, meaning it helps prevent and relieve gas, bloating, and intestinal cramping

If you’re eating for IBS you need to go low fat (but not fat free), as fat is a huge IBS trigger.

But fat carries flavor, and dropping the fat level means you need to heighten the taste.

So try an IBS flavor bomb!

Ground coriander

This spice is one of my favorite IBS kitchen heroes!

Because eating for IBS should always be delicious, and never mean deprivation.
