Overview
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and related functional bowel disorders affect daily life significantly but are often misunderstood. They're not 'in your head' — they're real conditions with effective management options. The first step is ruling out other causes through proper evaluation.
Common symptoms
- Recurring abdominal pain or cramping
- Bloating and excess gas
- Changes in bowel habits — diarrhoea, constipation, or alternating
- Mucus in stools
- Symptoms often triggered by certain foods or stress
When to see a doctor
If symptoms have lasted more than three months, are affecting your daily routine, or if you notice blood in stools, unexplained weight loss, or symptoms that wake you at night, see a specialist. These warrant proper evaluation.
How we help
We rule out other conditions first through targeted tests, then build a management plan combining medication, dietary changes (often a low-FODMAP approach), and lifestyle strategies. Most patients see meaningful improvement within weeks.
