Eating a gluten-free diet may help some people with IBS, but is not required for all. IBS triggers can significantly vary from person to person; therefore, foods to include or omit can vary. Many people who have IBS have found following a low FODMAP diet reduces the number of flare ups gastrointestinal issues. From there, continue to omit foods that you find are a trigger for your IBS symptoms.

There is a lack of evidence that showed a gluten-free diet can help against IBS. However, the available scientific literature has showed that gluten-free diet may improve symptoms of abdominal pain and tiredness and can be recommended to patients with IBS. In my opinion, more studies needs to be conducted before we reach any conclusions.
