Hai,
I understand your long term problem. you should take care both your body weight as well as your intestine.
As IBS in children can be cured with proper medication. But in middle age and more than 2 decade history is hard to say cure but can be managed.
First Mental stress, Anxiety will highly precipitate your problem.
So kindly relax yourself regarding this IBS and Start Doing Meditation and Yoga. That will also help in reducing your weight as you fall in obesity category. you need counseling for your compulsive overeating.
meditation and yoga will refresh you and keep you active and out of stress.
As your IBS is diarrhea predominant one. You need to avoid food which irritates your intestine from your experience.
As from your query you got lactose intolerance. However,Buttermilk is digestive, astringent, and light to digest and helps in improving the consistency of the stool. Buttermilk with cumin, and fenugreek powder to control the bowel movements. It contains a good amount of lactobacillus bacteria, which helps restore the normal flora of the intestines.
Preferable food: old rice, jawar, gourd, coriander leaves, lentil, green grams soup, black pepper, dried ginger, wood apple, Pomegranate, nutmeg, , buttermilk,ghee.
Avoid foods items such as maize, barley, pigeon pea, pea, cow pea,junk food,fried ,non veg foods.
Its really hard to follow. But the disease pattern is like that.if you want to improve your condition you should follow.
Your daily intake of food which should not increase your weight and irritates your intestine. so kindly Consult a dietitian to make a diet plan for both IBS as well as Obesity.
Medication:
Oral medication Vilwa Rasayana (Aegle marmelos fruit ) – 5g twice a day.
Kutaja(Holarrhena antidysenterica) powder – 5g twice a day with butter milk.
Thank you
