If you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, you might wonder: Are you destined to deal with its symptoms forever, or is there a cure?
The hallmark symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are difficult to ignore: Abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, gas. It’s no wonder, then, that people who have the condition may wish for a treatment that helps them to completely recover.
For Beth Rosen, a registered dietitian in New York who was diagnosed with IBS in 2010, that reality was hard to accept. “It took a while to come to terms with the fact that this was never going away,” Rosen said. “How was I going to manage it and live this way?” IBS is a result of impaired communication between the gut and the brain, with the nerves in the gut being exceptionally sensitive and signalling pain from what might be normal digestive processes.
