Irritable bowel syndrome, also known as IBS, is a set of symptoms that impact your gastrointestinal tract. The most common IBS symptoms include irregularity or changes in bowel habits, gas, pain, cramps, bloating and sometimes, mucous in the stool. Changes in bowel habits that lead to blood in the stool are usually not seen in IBS. Most IBS sufferers also have diarrhea, constipation or both, and these symptoms occur three or more times a month.

IBS does not cause changes to the inside of your GI tract and does not increase your risk for cancer. It is, however, uncomfortable and painful, and should be evaluated. One of the more effective ways to treat IBS is with a naturopathic physician.

If you have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and live in the Sandy Springs GA area, consider consulting the naturopathic physicians at Nova Clinic for treatment and management.

Customized Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

There are many over-the-counter remedies sold for IBS. Unfortunately, these agents and drugs simply stop the symptoms and do not get to the true problem. Often, IBS is associated with dietary indiscretions or stress. In Dunwoody, many clients with irritable bowel syndrome seek treatment from our naturopathic doctor.

IBS treatment may involve dietary changes and evaluation, vitamin and mineral supplements, and stress management. Often, treatment for irritable bowel syndrome requires a combination of these treatments to be effective.
