Treatable: Although we can't cure ibs-irritable bowel syndrome- you and your dr have many options to try and control the symptoms.I recommend you keep a very careful diary of everything you eat and find the "triggers"that aggrivate your gut.We know stress makes it worse;can you get help here?If diarrhea is most problematic we can use antispasmodics;if constipation we can use stool softeners or even mild laxi.
