Whay is ibs (iritable bawl sindrome) and is it dangerous for your health?i have it for long time always have problem with my stomach as pain, blowting
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and fluids: I rarely prescribe meds for ibs. In my experience teaching people to eat and drink properly resolves most if not all symptoms when the patient is compliant and follows through. Hi fiber, 80-100 ounces non caffeine, non alcoholic beverages each day, regular meal times, excercise. Consistency is the key to being symptom free.
