What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for IBS. However, the patient can often be treated to help with their symptoms. This can mean medication including those that will help to ease bloating, and help with pain. Other medication is available to help with more serious complications such as depression and anxiety.
Perhaps the most effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome is to avoid the triggers. It will also help to get plenty of exercise, get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of fluids, and to have a lot of diet in your fiber. Avoiding too much stress can also help to prevent triggering the symptoms in some people.
