There is no single treatment for IBS that will work for everyone because there is no known cause of the condition, and it appears to affect different people differently. Many irritable bowel syndrome treatments have been proven to be effective in the past, so our specialists have several options to help you.
Diet and lifestyle changes, such as eliminating gassy foods and beverages, can be part of IBS treatment. Other options include a range of medications. Antibiotics, diarrhea medications, several other newly approved medications, and even antidepressants can sometimes be effective IBS diarrhea treatments.
