IBS sufferers really try to stay away from healthy foods, out of fear they cause more gut issues. It appears FODMAP foods can be fine, and even cut the IBS symptoms by nearly 60% over normal low FODMAP diet advice.

I think the fiber and other nutrients help.

Does the Mediterranean diet include pizza, lasagna and ravioli? Those come from Italy, which is a Mediterranean country.

I shop regularly for a number (9 or 10) of seniors. They talk a lot about guts.
Best results for IBS (C, D, or A thru Z) are quite simply,
shop in the produce section, ie, fresh food, veggies, nuts, fruits;
avoid sugar (seriously, it’s no good! you start improving without it, then you give in to temptation and suffer a relapse!)
avoid alcohol because alcohol = sugar, see above;
oral bacteria are bad for your entire body, not just your mouth, and it will mess with your guts, so practice dental hygiene;
get off the sofa and do some exercise, ANY exercise;
if you have stress or anxiety, open your Bible, pray, attend worship or just find some healing scriptures on youtube, it’s all good.
