Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Customised Methods to Ease Your Digestive System

Bouts of bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel habits, which are so unpredictable that they seem to take charge of your daily life – are you struggling with such symptoms? If yes, then maybe you are suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Finding the right irritable bowel syndrome specialists in Janakpuri is the first step toward reclaiming your comfort.
Being a liver specialist and gastroenterologist, I know that IBS is not just "a stomach affected by nervousness". It is a functional gastrointestinal disorder in which the communication between your brain and your gut is your body language gone wrong. In my approach to irritable bowel syndrome treatment in Janakpuri, the main focus is on figuring out the person's specific triggers and bringing back the digestive system's natural rhythm.

Understanding IBS: Why It Happens

  • Gut-Brain Axis Dysregulation: The brain and intestines are communicating in a way that is different from the normal one.
  • Visceral Hypersensitivity: Pain in the intestine is not only perceived but also increased, requiring specialised irritable bowel syndrome pain treatment in Janakpuri.
  • Gut Microbiome Imbalance: The population of the gut bacteria is altered.
  • Post-Infectious IBS: Indications still present after severe stomach flu or food poisoning.

The Role of a Liver and GI Specialist

Even though the main focus of a liver specialist would be on the metabolism and the general digestive health of the patient, a liver specialist can still give you a broader perspective of your metabolic and digestive health. In some cases, symptoms that resemble IBS (for instance, abdominal distension and heartburn) may be caused by problems with the bile flow or liver inflammation. With the help of a dual specialist, you make sure that other possible causes are eliminated and that your treatment is the most efficient for your entire digestive system.

Common Symptoms of IBS

IBS symptoms differ for each individual and may also differ for the same individual at different times. Common examples are:

  • Abdominal Pain: Usually experienced alongside bowel movements (the pain usually ceases after the patient's bowel movement).
  • Bloating and Gas: A sensation of pressure or even visible swelling of the abdomen.
  • IBS-D (Diarrhoea Predominant): Numerous soft stools and sudden urgent needs to go to the toilet.
  • IBS-C (Constipation Predominant): A hard time passing stool and less frequent bowel movements.
  • IBS-M (Mixed): Alternating condition of diarrhoea followed by constipation.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We do not have a single 'magic pill' for IBS, which is the reason why we develop a multi-dimensional treatment plan specifically adapted to your lifestyle.

1. Precision Diagnostics: As irritable bowel syndrome specialists in Janakpuri, we use the following tests to confirm the diagnosis:

  • Breath Testing: To eliminate the possibility of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) or lactose intolerance.
  • Stool Analysis: Done to check whether there is inflammation or infection.
  • Screening Colonoscopy: Advised for patients with "red flag" symptoms such as weight loss or bleeding.

2. Nutritional and Dietary Intervention: Diet is usually the most effective weapon. We take you through:

  • Low-FODMAP Diet: Pinpointing fermentable carbohydrates that cause gas and pain.
  • Fibre Modification: Choosing the right kind of fibre based on your specific IBS subtype.

3. Advanced Medical Management: For effective irritable bowel syndrome pain treatment in Janakpuri, we may use:

  • Antispasmodics: To lessen intestinal cramping.
  • Gut-Directed Antibiotics: For SIBO situations.
  • Neuromodulators: Small doses of medicines that "quiet" gut-brain communication.
  • Probiotics: Strains for restoring natural flora.
