IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects the the gastrointestinal tract resulting in abdominal pain, cramps, gas, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, and/or alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation. The cause is not well understood and symptoms can range from very mild to very severe. The condition is usually chronic and necessitates proper long term management. Fortunately, functional gastroenterology offers relief in the form of specific diet adjustments, natural remedies and micronutrient protocols, lifestyle management, and, when necessary, medication and counseling.
