Suggest Treatment For Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Hi,

My wife suffers from IBS, it is very rare she actually goes to the toilet, after trawling through thousands of internet pages, I was wondering if purchasing a douche kit may help her at all?
Can you please tell me if it could possibly help or should this be something that we do not do?
Many thanks for your time.

All the very best

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is most commonly due to stress and anxiety.
So stress management is the key in IBS treatment.
So better to take her to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution.
She may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Librax is treatment of choice for IBS. Probiotic drugs like sporolac should also be given.
Dietary habits like avoiding oily, spicy, large meals, taking more green leafy vegetables and high fiber diet, taking more curd, yogurt etc are also helpful.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
