Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a condition that affects the digestive system.
There is no known identifiable cause but certain foods and drinks may make it worse.
Its symptoms can cause constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, flatulence, stomach pain and cramps.
It tends to run in families but these symptoms can also be signs of something more serious, so if you think you have IBS then this needs to be confirmed by your doctor.
At Evans Pharmacy if stomach cramps are the main symptom then Buscopan is excellent in relieving these along with Peppermint Oil Capsules.
If diarrhoea is a problem then Loperamide is useful for adults, and if constipation is a problem then Fybogel is great to use on a regular basis to restore normal bowel mobility.
