Irritable Bowel?: The diagnosis of irritable bowel is best established after an exam and other possible etiologies are excluded. That being said you should schedule an appointment to have the diagnosis confirmed. Fortunately effective care is available for irritable bowels syndrome. The best care, however, is preventive in nature.
