Problems with regularity or stool formation, especially when accompanied with gas, pain, cramping or bloating, are frequent symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Other irritable bowel syndrome symptoms include diarrhea, constipation and mucous in the stool. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) occurs frequently. To be diagnosed with IBS, clients must have these symptoms three or more times a month for at least the last three months.

The good news is that while annoying, IBS does not cause serious changes in the intestines. Other bowel disorders may actually increase the risk for colorectal cancer, and IBS does not.

If you are suffering from irritable bowel syndrome symptoms in the Smyrna GA area, you should consult the naturopathic doctors at Nova Clinic for treatment and management.

Holistic Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Just because IBS does not lead to colon cancer or increase the risk of colorectal cancer, does not mean it should not be treated. We all deserve to live pain free and should not have to worry about the regularity of our bowel movements. Effective irritable bowel syndrome treatments are available to residents of the Vinings area.

When you have symptoms of IBS, try to avoid over-the-counter medications. These medications often times cause other symptoms and avoid treating the true underlying problem.
