IBS
We look at the root cause of your IBS symptoms rather than just treat symptoms.
ABOUT IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) BS is a very common digestive disorder seen in modern-day society, it can be a long-term condition that causes recurring discomfort in the abdomen and altered bowel habits. About two in 10 people in the UK have IBS and get episodes six times a year or more. How long a flare-up lasts varies from person to person and may change from one episode to the next.
An IBS diagnosis is nothing more than a term given by your GP or gastroenterologist which often means, they aren’t able to find out what the root cause of your symptoms really are. Unfortunately, symptoms can prevail for years and decades even unless you can find out what is causing the imbalance.
Many of my patients have gone through a round of different dieticians, GP’s, and specialists with some getting some improvement and others getting some temporary relief and others getting little to no improvement with their symptoms continuing to cause them discomfort.
