Ibs whats the best to take medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IBS: In irritable bowel syndrome, the decision to try medication depends on what type of IBS is present, how severe the symptoms are, and how much it affects your life. Before medications are tried, it is often helpful to increase the amount of soluble fiber in the diet and to increase fluid intake. If this does not help, see your doctor for possible intervention with medications. Good luck.
