Rule out Celiac Disease / Gluten Sensitivity First! -

I suffered with supposed IBS for 15 years before finally being diagnosed with Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Before you accept a diagnosis of IBS, make sure you get a full Celiac blood panel and an endoscopy (trust me this isn't nearly as bad as it sounds). If (and only if) these are negative, cut gluten completely out of your diet for 3-6 months and monitor your symptoms. I don't have Celiac, but a gluten free diet cured me of easily 95% of my IBS symptoms!
