A member asked:

How can you relieve an ibs attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on symptoms: Ibs is a heterogeneous disease which can include symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, cramping, bloating and nausea. Relieving factors depend on the exact symptoms. In general psyllium based fiber supplements and probiotics may be helpful in preventing symptoms.
