Anybody experiencing symptoms that are not usual for them should always discuss these with their doctor in the first instance, so that a diagnosis can be made. What is considered normal in terms of bowel habit and the types of tests that are carried out is discussed in this section. The standard treatments are outlined alongside their limitations. Finally, from lessons learned from my own experience, I have adapted those standard treatments with additional considerations that might enable IBS sufferers to get to the point of being able to manage their condition sooner. More detail regarding the reasons for and handling of specific symptoms is discussed in the Symptoms menu option.
