Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints in primary care clinics across the US. And yet, it is very rarely considered treatable by most doctors. This is because it is a “diagnosis of exclusion,” and can only be ruled in when every other gastrointestinal disorder is ruled out. Since there is no drug or standard of care for this condition, most people are left on their own to figure it out. IBS is almost always due to a food intolerance, motility issues or a history of viral/bacterial infection. It is very simple to return to normal digestive processes with an elimination diet and supplements or herbs that can reset the gut’s motility.
