Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition that is really irritable to everyone causing abdominal discomfort to most of the person affected with the condition. So, it is required to be managed properly so that one can minimise his / her level of discomfort. Now let me discuss the ways of managing IBS.
If you have diarrhoea, you have to go for stool examination to find out TSH and faecal fats. But for younger patients with previous history, the diagnoses process may need few more test including the former and those includes FBC, ESR, LFTs & urinalysis. It would be better to go for rectal biopsy and sigmoidoscopy.
If there is dyspepsia and reflux, the patient may require endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
There are a number of diagnostic methods but I won't suggest to go for them immediately without referring a physician.
For treatment of IBS, look out for my next post.
