Common IBS symptoms include abdominal pain and cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between both. Symptoms often improve after bowel movements and may be triggered by certain foods or stress.
IBS is diagnosed based on symptoms and by ruling out other conditions. Our gastroenterologists conduct thorough evaluations including medical history, physical examination, and may recommend tests like colonoscopy, blood tests, or stool analysis to exclude other digestive disorders.
While IBS is a chronic condition without a cure, symptoms can be effectively managed through dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, stress management, and medications. Most patients achieve significant relief with proper treatment and management strategies.
Common IBS triggers include certain foods (dairy, gluten, FODMAPs), stress and anxiety, hormonal changes, infections, and medications. Identifying and avoiding personal triggers is key to managing IBS effectively.
