ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
STORAGE
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common condition which causes spasm and pain in the gut or intestine.
The intestine is a long muscular tube which food passes down so it can be digested. If the intestine goes into spasm and squeezes too tightly, you get pain. The way this medicine works is by relieving the spasm, pain and other symptoms of IBS.
The main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include:
- stomach pain and spasm
- persistent diarrhoea, or alternating constipation and diarrhoea
- flatulence (wind) and feeling bloated
- small, hard, pellet-like or ribbon-like stools (faeces)
These symptoms may vary from person to person.
Your diet and lifestyle can also help treat IBS:
- How you restrict your diet depends on the way IBS affects you. If you find that certain foods bring on the symptoms, then it makes sense not to eat them. A high fibre diet may help, but ask your doctor for more information
- Some people find that learning to relax can help to lessen their symptoms of IBS. You may find it helpful to set aside a few moments each day to relax and gently unwind
