I guess, like the yay in AA and NA, are you willing to do whatever it takes? dunno, fasting for sixteen hours would be hard for me. I did read somewhere that three square meals, rather than a bunch of smaller ones, which is usually recommended, sometimes works better, because it fits in in with the cycles of the tummy's digestive "waves" not medical advice, your mileage may vary
Fasting 16 hrs for me is easy because I eat a big 6 pm dinner then have breakfast between 10:30 and 11am next day. I do have black decaf in am with pills I can’t eat on. I am also a big protein eater not sure this helps with the fasting.

cash bet is that it does, because protein, bigger meals, build up the blood sugar levels, but they stay up for a lot longer, than eating...well, seem to recall, as a "kid" first or second year college, health science, possibly 101, back then, I was eating cereal in the morning, but the class showed the spike and rapid drop, in a graph, of blood sugar, and protein, went up slower, but stayed up longer, so I switched to oatmeal, boiled eggs, etc. in the morning, and sure enough didn't get "hangry" before lunch time...
This may be a repeat. On the web (antennas up) I heard of a drug, FDA approved, ZAXINE, that is taken for 2 weeks then free of symptoms for 10 weeks. If someone from Mayo is tuned in please comment.

I agree. I have found a diet that takes away my symptoms. However, I started taking dicyclomine for IBS. So far I have received relief from chronic abdominal pain. I still have urgency(I wear a pad so I can go out) and fecal leakage.
My colonoscopy last week was visually clear. Now waiting for biopsy results to see if I have micrscopic inflammatory disease.
I have been struggling with this for years. I have pretty much given up on a cure.
Hi @rocknrobbn 😊 and @sonnie27
It is nice to meet you both! Can you please share some of the foods you eat each day on the diet that is working for you? It's so nice to hear that someone found a diet that takes away the IBS-D symptoms!
I took colostrymine powder and D stopped after a week. Can only get by subscription. Try it! Doesn’t say it is suppose to do that but my research, since I had no gull bladder made me try.

Well it doesn't take away IBS-D. Other triggers for me are stress, anxiety and emotional issues. And then there is the temptation of eating certain foods while at home because you are craving them and can deal with the D because you are home. See above post of the FODMAP chart from @bsh171947.

Thank you @larue13 😊 for the diet, this is great! Do you happen to know what patient population should use the "low" diet and who should use the "high" diet? If you have IBS with constipation dominant is that a different diet from IBS diarrhea dominant? Thank you again for jumping in to help!

Might want to google that drug. I just did. Personally I would only take it if I could not manage my IBS-D with diet anymore.

The Fodmap food list diet is for low solvable fiber. I believe that all IBS patients would benefit from the low fodmap diet.
