Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning all other digestive tract conditions must be ruled out first. But what happens when patients receive a diagnosis yet still get little relief of symptoms? That’s where Nutritionist Maria Allerton’s (née Shaflender) expertise and passion lies, in treating complicated cases of IBS. In this episode she discusses a variety of contributing factors and treatment options for this syndrome, including the challenges of getting an IBS diagnosis, how antibiotics can contribute, the importance of testing during treatment, and how things like hypnotherapy and nutrition together can reduce symptoms and improve a patient’s quality of life.
