Is there a cure for IBS?
No, there is no cure for most things in medicine, including
IBS. All the treatments for IBS control your symptoms. The disorder is not life
threatening but can affect quality of life. Most people with IBS are miserable
and have a terrible personality to go with it. Some patients have dominance of constipation
and others have diarrhea; some have both. There are drugs to treat either of
these two symptoms but none, which can change your personality. I would start with
changes in diet and see what you like or dislike. Keep a diary and record everything.
Stick to what does not cause problems. When diet fails, you can go on to
medications. Good luck.
