About Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is not a single procedure but a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder diagnosed and managed by a Gastroenterologist. The diagnostic process involves a comprehensive evaluation to rule out other conditions and confirm IBS based on symptom criteria, such as recurrent abdominal pain associated with changes in bowel habits. Management is personalized and focuses on symptom relief through a combination of dietary modifications (like a low FODMAP diet), lifestyle changes, stress management, and medications. There is no cure, but effective management strategies can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms. The gastroenterologist's role is to provide an accurate diagnosis, create a tailored treatment plan, and offer ongoing support.
