How do you treat irritable bowl and what diet?

Based on Symptoms: Treatment of IBS is symptomatic. Some patients have diarrhea and others have constipation so a physician's treatment plan is based on symptoms. Diet: slowly increase the fiber in the diet. Avoid high fat diets, cabbage, beans, legumes and lentils.

Depends on what kind: Ibs can be diarrhea- or constipation- predominant or mixed-type. Ibs-c can be treated with fiber supplements, stool softeners, mild magnesium-based laxatives, or peg 3350. Ibs-d can be treated with loperamide or prescription drugs. Important to rule out celiac disease, lactose intolerance, or colitis. Dietary treatment includes avoiding stimulants (caffeine), alcohol, and stopping tobacco use.
