Dairy Products
There are many reasons why dairy products are not suitable for those with IBS. Firstly, they contain a lot of fat, which may result in diarrhea. Replacing with nonfat or low-fat dairy would help reduce the risk. Another reason is that many individuals with IBS experience symptoms when they consume milk. While the exact cause is still not fully clear, it is advisable to choose better alternatives, such as soy-based cheese and plant milks. If you want to avoid dairy products completely, try other foods that are high in calcium. These include seeds, sardines, nuts, beans, and greens. [4]
