What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and how to identify it?

IBS is a common chronic condition that present with pain, bloating distention or other symptoms in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

It is a functional disorder, which means there are no detectable signs of damage in the digestive tract.

IBS is diagnosed by exclusion, meaning that coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and endometriosis are to be ruled out with symptoms still present before diagnosis.

When should you see a Dietitian?
See a dietitian if you:
• Have been diagnosed with IBS and want to learn how to manage your symptoms and identify specific food triggers.
• Have been following a diet such as the low FODMAP diet, but don’t experience relief.
• Need to restrict multiple foods and are concerned about nutrient deficiencies.
• Experience poor appetite or unintentional weight loss.
• Would like to optimise nutrition to improve health-span and longevity
