A member asked:
Why might it be that people with irritable bowl syndrome (ibs) can't take fiber?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Many times our choice of specific therapies is based mainly upon symptoms and response to empiric trials when it comes to ibs as there are many causes. This is why working closely with your primary care doctor as well as gastroenterology can determine the best course of action.
