Specializes in Pain Management

IBS hallmark: Irritable bowel syndrome's hallmark is incomplete evacuation. But there are a lot of other things that go along with that. Maybe you are just constipated. You have 18 feet of gut, and you may have to increase fruit/vegetables/water/fiber to completely empty.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
