A member asked:

Any ideas for a cure for ibs, please give your opinion.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

One day: I think it's a real disease, though one that we haven't fully chacterized yet. For starters scrutinize all your food to see what triggers it. Avoid those as much as you can. Identify stressors that trigger it and work to alleviate those.
