Feeling intestine spasm every few times/hr. diarrhea about once a week for past 6 months. +stress/anxiety. is this ibs? any home tx?

Gastroenterologist: IBS is a definite possibility. Stress management therapy may be quite helpful. Do you note certain food intolerances? If so following the fodmap diet could also be effective in preventing symptoms. An evaluation by a gastroenterologist is recommended if your symptoms persist, are significant, frequent and affect your quality of life.
