What is possible cure for ibs suffring from last 18 yrs. ? patiant 61 yrs. male.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cure...: There is no known cure for ibs. There is really no definitive diagnosis either. Modulation of diet and stress factors in your life often result in reduction of symptoms. Occasionally we have to prescribe medications. A recent advance in the management of ibs patients has been with a low-fodmaps diet that results in less bacterial fermentation of poorly absorbed carbohydrates. Ibsfree.Net.
