Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent chronic condition that affects the large intestine. As a functional gastrointestinal disorder, it results from miscommunication between the brain and the gut, impacting bowel function. IBS can lead to considerable discomfort and have a profound impact on daily life.
The exact causes of IBS remain unclear, but it is thought to result from a combination of factors such as intestinal muscle contractions, nervous system irregularities, past infections, and changes in gut bacteria. Symptoms differ from person to person, and managing IBS often calls for a tailored approach. With proper medical support and lifestyle modifications, IBS symptoms can be effectively controlled.
Symptoms of IBS
IBS often involves multiple symptoms, which may come and go or persist for extended periods, such as days, weeks, or months. Typical symptoms you may encounter with IBS include:
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating
- Chronic constipation
- Chronic diarrhea
- Functional dyspepsia
- Gas
- Mucus in stool
- Cramping
- Bowel urgency
- Feeling of incomplete evacuation
- Alternating constipation and diarrhea
How is IBS Diagnosed?
Diagnosing IBS usually includes a thorough review of your medical history, a physical exam, and tests to rule out other conditions, like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Although no single test can confirm IBS, symptoms such as abdominal pain and altered bowel habits lasting over three months are common indicators.
To rule out other issues, we may also suggest blood work, stool tests, or a colonoscopy, especially if you experience severe symptoms or warning signs like weight loss or bleeding.

How Long Does It Take To Improve My IBS Symptoms?
IBS treatment requires patience, as it usually takes several weeks for most people to experience substantial relief from symptoms and improvements in their health. That said, many clients report feeling better within just a few days.
In my journey to address the root cause of my chronic illness, I’ve collaborated with some of the most esteemed physicians across the nation. However, it wasn’t until I met Dr. Yuabova Marina that I experienced significant progress in overcoming a 15-year-old gastrointestinal condition that greatly impacted my quality of life. Within just 9 months under her care, I witnessed remarkable improvements. Dr. Marina’s expertise truly makes her the nation’s best-kept secret in healthcare, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to my loved ones and anyone seeking effective medical guidance.

What dietary changes can help manage IBS symptoms?
Diet is essential in managing IBS symptoms, and making specific dietary changes can significantly improve your condition. Our team will guide you in identifying which foods to include or avoid, helping you minimize triggers and enhance your well-being.
- Increase fiber intake: Increasing fiber can help alleviate constipation for some people, though others may experience worsened bloating or gas with higher fiber consumption.
- Low FODMAP diet: A low FODMAP diet, which restricts foods high in fermentable carbohydrates, has been shown to provide relief for many people with IBS.
