IBS Treatment

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disorder affecting how the large intestine works.

IBS causes a recurring pattern of abdominal discomfort along with changes in bowel habits. While not structurally damaging to the gut, it can significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life.

Because IBS symptoms can overlap with other conditions, Dr. Nair takes a careful, structured approach — first ruling out other causes, then building a personalised management plan around diet, triggers and symptom pattern.

Common Symptoms

• Abdominal cramping and pain
• Bloating and excess gas
• Diarrhoea, constipation, or an alternating pattern
• Mucus in the stool
• Symptoms that ease after a bowel movement

Common Triggers

• Certain foods (fatty, spicy or high-FODMAP items)
• Stress and anxiety
• Hormonal changes
• Irregular eating patterns

Dr. Nair's Approach

Management focuses on identifying individual triggers, dietary adjustment, and symptom-targeted treatment. Where symptoms are atypical or persistent, further evaluation is used to rule out other digestive conditions before finalising a long-term care plan.
