Stop Guessing.
Start Tracking.

Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a mechanical engineering problem. Identify the input. Measure the output. Execute the protocol.

Most IBS advice is generic SEO fluff about "reducing stress" and eating salads. We focus on exact FODMAP molecular structures, gut transit times, and the visceral hypersensitivity feedback loop.

1. The Mechanical Subtypes

Before you change a single meal, you must identify your transit time baseline.

IBS-D (Rapid Transit)

Characterized by urgency, loose stools (Bristol 6-7), and spasms. Primary intervention focuses on identifying osmotic triggers (FODMAPs) and introducing soluble binders.

IBS-C (Slow Transit)

Characterized by incomplete evacuation, hard stools (Bristol 1-2), and profound bloating. Primary intervention focuses on motility agents, hydration, and mechanical bulking.

FODMAP Groups

2. The FODMAP Matrix

FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) are short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine.

  • Oligosaccharides: Fructans (Wheat, Garlic) & GOS (Beans)
  • Disaccharides: Lactose (Milk, Yogurt)
  • Monosaccharides: Fructose (Honey, Apples)
  • Polyols: Sorbitol, Mannitol (Sugar-free gum, Mushrooms)
