Medical remedy or care is important in terms of irritable bowel treatment. There are more than 50% who suffers from this medical disorder who never seek medical advice and most of them seek doctor's help only after a long time of suffering. They commonly think that diarrhea and constipation is caused by some bad food they eat and they do not see it as a disorder. IBS treatment for temporarily relief of the symptoms is available but there is no cure found for this syndrome yet. Usually, medical practitioners and doctors provide management for the bowel syndrome based on the symptoms each person is experiencing because the symptoms also differ from one person to another.
There are several managements doctors advise their patients who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. Some doctors advise their patients to change their diets into a healthier one and increase the fibre intake. Fibre is known to help relieve constipation making stools softer however, if you are experiencing diarrhea, this option is not for you. There are also some over the counter drugs or medicines that can help decrease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome such as laxatives (for constipation) and lomotil and loperamide also known as Imodium (for diarrhoea).
Some doctors also prescribe medicines for IBS Treatment. Some of these medicines are used to control colon's muscle spasm and decrease abdominal pain (antispasmodic) and antidepressants. However, both prescribed medicines are known to increase the chance of having constipation and worsen the condition. To prevent this case, some mid sedative drugs that can relax bladder and intestine muscles such as donnapine and librax are also prescribed. These medicines must be carefully taken care of with your doctors. Lotronex or the alosetron hydrochloride is a medicine used exclusively for irritable bowel syndrome but it must be observed meticulously as it can give extreme side effects such as severe constipation and decreased blood flow into the colon.
There are also some herbal medications you can use such as the use of peppermint oil (which is now available in capsules), iberogast, kiwifruit and others. Some symptom of this disorder is the anxiety or depression that is why some doctors also recommend psychotherapy. It is also important to have counselling with your doctors in order to know the Dos and Don'ts of the disorder. During the counselling, you can also be advised to change your lifestyle by increasing your exercises and improve your sleeping habits.
