The short answer is not to use artificial sweeteners at all.  This is because people with IBS tend to have Tyramine Intolerance, just like people with migraines do.  Many have both issues.  So, this means keeping the real sugar to a bare minimum and staying away from the artificial sweeteners.  Also, remember that if you're using artificial sweeteners to lose weight, this doesn't usually work.  This is because artificial sweeteners are as much as 16 times sweeter than sugar.  The brain tastes the sweet and it will insist on getting these calories from other food sources.

Do a search on Tyramine Intolerance and you will find useful information on foods in general to stay away from that have a higher amount of Tyramine.  Ask.com has a short and simple article if you just want the short answer.
