GeneralBest Treatment for Symptoms of IBS

Introduction

If you’re a doctor or a nutritionist, you already know that gastrointestinal health is pretty important, but people suffer from various problems in the GI tract. IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common digestive diseases that people can carry.

Anyway, it is obvious that some digesting issues have almost the same symptoms, and it is difficult to find out if it’s IBS or not. The article will let you know about the symptoms and the best treatment for symptoms of IBS.

Anyway, you will also find out how to diagnose the disease to get some relief because it is painful sometimes. The treatment should be from a professional during your consultation.

What Are the Symptoms of IBS?

As mentioned before, IBS has some common symptoms as other GI tract diseases, and some other symptoms that can specify it as IBS:

1. You can either have constipation or diarrhoea; that depends on the type of IBS that you have.
2. Abdominal pain, especially at night or after having a heavy meal.
3. Sometimes you may face anemia due to low iron or rectal bleeding.
4. Fever and nausea.
5. Sudden weight loss.
6. Lactose intolerance is quite common in IBS.

These are the symptoms of IBS, but please remember that if you have these symptoms, there is a chance of your having IBS. Don’t be 100% sure about it because these things may occur due to some other problems too.

That’s why you may need to go through some medical diagnosis process to be sure about it. The biochemical or medical tests for you are:

1. You can check the large intestine, especially the bowel’s condition by doing a CT scan or X-ray. The films or results will show if you have an IBS or not.
2. Your doctor may suggest you to do a colonoscopy because your colon gets affected when you have IBS no matter which type.
3. Endoscopy is one of the most common methods to check your upper abdomen, including esophagus. A tube attached to a small camera is sent inside, and it also collects a tissue that the doctors use for biopsy.
4. Lactose intolerance level checking is another method as most people with IBS have lactose intolerance.
5. Stool test is another way of diagnosis; it’s common in all types of GI tract disease diagnosis.

What Are the Best Treatments for IBS?

Please remember that when you have IBS, you have to lead a healthy lifestyle, including medications, diet management. You should know how to avoid or minimize the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome; I hope the tips will be useful:

1. Please avoid spicy and gassy foods with high fats that may irritate your bowel. Apples and IBS seem to have a bittersweet relationship as well.
2. Take laxative medicines if you’re having constipation, or magnesium hydroxide tablets if you’re having diarrhoea.
3. Keep some fresh fruits, fibers, and easily digestible foods in your daily diet.
4. Keep a balance between your calorie intake and don’t forget about doing some physical exercises.
