Suggest Treatment For IBS

I was on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and it was working very well for me. For the first time in at least 10 years, I felt great. It even helped control my IBS symptoms. May 7th, my insurance change and I no longer have insurance for prescriptions. My psychiatrist recommended that I check on line for any patient assistance programs for this new medication. Do you have such a program?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is becoming quite common these days. It has to be managed by dietary modification, drugs and reduction of anxiety. If such a patient comes to me, I would suggest the following:
- Diet modification like taking enough dietary fibers, plenty of water and small frequent meals per day
- Avoiding fatty or oily food is also important
- Avoidance of alcohol and smoking is advised
- Relaxation is important. Increased anxiety leads to increase in IBS symptoms
- Exercise regularly. It enhances metabolism
- Taking Normaxin-RT for a month. It contains clinidium, chlordiazepoxide, rabeprazole etc.
- Taking probiotics like lactobacillus for 15 days

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
