No one approach to diet works for everyone when it comes to IBS everyone's bodies react differently. While I can eat certain cheeses with no issue another person could have a painful attack from it. Or for that matter with me some of the recipes in Eating for IBS would give me a terrible attack. Wheat, and garlic are 2 major triggers for me. So for me a lot of the recipes in Eating for IBS would make me very sick. The most important thing when it comes to diet with IBS is to find what works best for you. And for me the biggest dietary changes I made was eliminating; wheat, garlic, onions, and anything contain fructose. By eliminating those my symptoms while they still exist at times, have been greatly reduced. Plus I've noticed by eliminating wheat my skin is less blotchy, I have less seasonal allergies, my appetite is more regulated (I used to either not have any, or I'd be hungry all the time and snack constantly), and finally I've noticed that my moods have gotten more stable and my thinking is more clear.
So in short read up, experiment and find what works best with your body.
