How can ibs become present? is any thing to fix it?

Full GI exam: certainly make an appointment with a GI specialist. Get checked for gluten eneropathy and bowell exam.

Ibs: Maria, we do not know what causes IBS. For patients, best to identify what triggers your ibs and try to avoid it. I have patients keep a symptom and diet diary to try and find dietary triggers. For some it is life events/stress that trigger. For some women,their period is a trigger. Can be very frustrating for patients and providers. Some meds can help. Best to have good communication provider.

Clarify diagnosis: The GI tract has a very limited # of symptoms to signal its distress--nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation, bloating, pain, fullness, bleeding, etc. As you know, many of these characterize ibs, but are also seen with inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, malabsorptive, and functional disorders. Directed lab work, imaging, biopsies, stool studies are appropriate in excluding non-ibs pathology.
