Suggest treatment for IBS
Patient: i have a prblm related to my stomach. doctors diagnosed it as IBS. I have un formed stools. i can see un digested vegetables in my stool. i feel tireness and lack of enthusiasm. doctors are of the opinion that it is because of tension. i refuse to believe that i have tension of that sort. of course i get tensed and that happens even from my school days. i am now 38 years old and this started suddently on one day before 8-9 years. i am afraid to take medicines because of side effects and fear of habit forming. at last now i decided to get treated and the doctor prescribed the following medcines: Happi D (morning), enterogermina (2wice daily) and deanxit. can i get a permanant cure for this and live without medcines? i dont have any stomach pains,vomiting etc. i dont feel like going to toilet every now and then. in the morning i need to go 2-3 times. thats all. Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.If it is just going to toilet 3 times in the morning , nothing much to worry. But you say there are undigested vegetables and tiredness , lack of enthusiasm, you need a treatment. The present treatment you mentioned is one of the best regimens, you can slowly withdraw then in doses and duration. Well, if your Doctors have diagnosed this as a case of an IBS , there is no specific treatment. Yet to add ::You can add creon or pancreatic supplements with food / avoid strictly all the foods and beverages that these cause or enhance such problems. Instant decision as to have an absolutely stress-free life is a must and changing the lifestyle can alone help you better than the medicines,
