Patient's Query
Hi doctor,

Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not known. The other causes are stress, anxiety, hormone changes, genetic factors, and infections such as salmonella. Treatment depends on the cause. We can do a blood test, hormonal test, coproculture, thyroid function test, colonoscopy, and test for celiac disease to identify the cause. After seeing the results, proper treatment can be planned. Stop taking caffeine and alcohol. Avoid eating fatty foods. Eat a fiber diet. It helps to get relief from constipation.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
