There are a variety of treatments for IBS. Treatment for the condition may involve some trial and error to find what works best for you. The first thing your doctor might recommend is dietary changes. You may be asked to limit gluten, foods with fructose and lactose, or foods and drinks that cause gas. Your doctor will also ask you to consider making lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and keeping stress to a minimum. Supporting a healthy intestinatl microbiome can help. Some medications can help regulate your IBS symptoms as well.
