Hi XXXXXXX
I am Dr Shareef, a general surgeon answering your query.
It will be helpful if you could tell me the tests and investigations with their reports on the basis of which you were diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome so that I can give you further professional advice.
Also what about your food habits ?
Do you eat frequently from outside ? If it is so, I will suggest you to avoid all kinds of food specially fast food and open juices from outside stalls. You should modify your food habits to more of fresh vegetables, and fruits with enough liquids. Also add fresh curd daily in your diet.
The low calcium and vit B12 can be managed by taking added supplements under supervision of your treating doctor.
I would also suggest you to go for a thyroid and parathyroid hormone profile if not done yet.
Your reply to the above is awaited. Till then, you can continue your taking enzymatic preparation and probiotics as before with the dietary modifications as advised.
Thanks.
