IBS
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) IS A COMMON YET COMPLEX DIGESTIVE CONDITION THAT CAN SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPT DAILY LIFE.
Characterised by recurring abdominal discomfort and changes in bowel habits, IBS can be overwhelming, embarrassing, and even life-limiting. From planning your day around bathroom access to managing awkward symptoms like excessive wind, IBS can take a toll on both your confidence and overall well-being.
Symptoms
ABDOMINAL PAIN OR CRAMPING, OFTEN RELIEVED AFTER BOWEL MOVEMENTS
BLOATING AND EXCESSIVE GAS
DIARRHOEA, CONSTIPATION, OR ALTERNATING PATTERNS
FATIGUE AND FOOD SENSITIVITIES
A SENSE OF INCOMPLETE BOWEL EVACUATION
The conventional approach
The conventional approach to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often focuses on managing symptoms with medications such as antispasmodics, laxatives, or anti-diarrhoeals, depending on the predominant symptoms. In some cases, low-dose antidepressants or dietary advice like the low FODMAP diet may be recommended. However, these treatments typically aim to alleviate symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of the condition.
Our approach
At Re:Health, we go beyond symptom management to identify and address the root causes of your IBS. We understand how life-limiting this condition can be, and our personalised approach is designed to help you regain control. By exploring factors like gut microbiome imbalances, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, food intolerances, and the gut-brain axis, we create tailored strategies to restore your digestive health.
