I am trying a dietary supplement that contains guarana seed extract. If I understand correctly, this comes from coffee. Do you know, Heather, if this would be an IBS trigger? Thanks!

Guarana is a climbing plant in the maple family. Guarana is contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans (about 2–4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1–2% for coffee beans. Guarana seeds are used as an energy booster / stimulant in supplements. It is probably not IBS safe.
