A member asked:
Can ibs be hereditary? can it show up in teens? and is it treatable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure, yes and yes.: As far as I'm aware, there's no definite genetic link in IBS. It can show up in teens. It is treatable, yes. Now, treatment should include physiologic and emotional considerations.
