Reply to "SIBO"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

IBS and IPS (irritable pouch syndrome) are pretty much the same. Antibiotics can help because the current thought is that there is some level of bacterial imbalance for many sufferers. This is why there are so many probiotics, yogurts, and the like, that are advertised to help treat IBS. While there may be no cure for IBS/IPS, there ARE treatments. Besides identifying diet triggers, there are probiotics, low dose tricyclic antidepressants (like Elavil), and antispasmodics (like Bentyl).

While lactose intolerance is common, it is not universal. You can also consider gluten intolerance, specific carbohydrates, and specific fruits and vegetables.

IPS is common.
