IBS Treatment |
IBS treatment is, unfortunately, a
fairly hit and miss affair. The bad news is that there is no easy cure, and in
fact there is not really even a set course of treatment. The good news is that
most sufferers do find something that helps them, whether it be through a
special diet, or a particular medicine, or a supplement, or a combination of
several different things.
One way to find out what foods are hurting you is to follow an exclusion diet, where you gradually cut out different foods for a week or so and see if you feel better. This should be carried out with the help of a nutritionist to make sure you don't end up with a diet that hurts you more than it helps!
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder of unknown cause. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits.
Irritable bowel syndrome has also been called spastic colon, functional bowel disease, and mucous colitis. However, IBS is not a true "colitis." The term colitis refers to a separate group of conditions known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
