A member asked:
Why do prebiotics keep causing my ibs symptoms to worsen, my doctor prescribed a different one everytime this happened but there's no results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prebiotics: I'm not convinced that prebiotics help IBS. Apparently you don't tolerate them. Try probiotics. Try the fodmap diet. There are prescription medications for troublesome IBS with predominant constipation and IBS with predominant diarrhea. If you're not doing well, consult a gastroenterologist.
