I am having a really bad IBS flare up at the moment. Been looking into kefir and/or probiotic yogurts. Has anyone with IBS tried these? And did they help. Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

Please check out the internet or Chat GPT for a list of low fodmap foods. They are part of a study by the Monash University in Australia. There is also a website and app for people who suffer with IBS. Also, if you are on FB there are lots of IBS supportive groups. I would keep a food diary and see which foods trigger your system.

I've had IBS for over 50 years .
Recently,I tried drinking Kefir and there us a definite improvement.
I hate the foul taste,but never mind .

I too found Kefir helpful and I don’t mind the taste. There are flavoured varieties but the consensus seems to be that plain is best.
