Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder. Unlike structural conditions, IBS affects the way your gut operates without altering its physical structure. Common triggers include stress, dietary intolerances, and hormonal changes, which can significantly impact daily life.
IBS is characterized by a range of symptoms that can vary from person to person. Identifying and managing these triggers is crucial for improving quality of life. Dr. Sinha offers a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating IBS, ensuring each patient receives the care they need.
Our goal is to provide clarity and relief through expert guidance and support. With a focus on both medical and lifestyle interventions, we aim to help you achieve lasting symptom control and improved well-being.
Recognizing the Symptoms of IBS
Common Signs of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach
Understanding IBS Diagnosis
Diagnosing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) involves a thorough and systematic process to ensure accuracy. Dr. Leena Sinha begins with an in-depth review of your medical history and lifestyle to identify potential triggers and patterns. Essential blood tests are conducted to exclude conditions like inflammation, coeliac disease, or anaemia. Stool tests are also performed to check for infections or inflammation. If necessary, further investigations such as colonoscopy, gastroscopy, or small bowel imaging might be recommended. The diagnosis is confirmed using the Rome IV criteria, which requires symptoms to be present for at least three months without any structural abnormalities.
Identifying IBS Subtypes
Types of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS is categorized into three main subtypes: IBS-C (constipation-predominant), IBS-D (diarrhoea-predominant), and IBS-M (mixed). Understanding your specific subtype is crucial as it directly influences the treatment strategy. IBS-C is characterized by infrequent bowel movements and hard stools, while IBS-D involves frequent, loose stools. IBS-M presents a combination of both constipation and diarrhoea. Identifying the subtype helps tailor the treatment plan to effectively manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Your IBS Questions Answered
Understanding IBS can be challenging, but we’re here to help. Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about managing this condition effectively.
Is IBS the same as IBD?
No, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional disorder affecting bowel function without causing visible inflammation, unlike IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, which involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
Can IBS be cured?
While there is no cure for IBS, symptoms can be effectively managed through a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Sinha offers tailored strategies that focus on dietary changes, stress management, and medical interventions to help control and alleviate symptoms.
What foods should I avoid with IBS?
Common food triggers for IBS include lactose, gluten, onions, garlic, caffeine, and fatty foods. However, individual responses vary, so it’s important to work with a specialist like Dr. Sinha to identify your specific triggers and develop a suitable dietary plan.
Is stress making my IBS worse?
Yes, stress can significantly impact IBS symptoms. The connection between the gut and brain means that stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, yoga, or cognitive behavioral therapy, can be beneficial in reducing symptom severity.
How is IBS diagnosed?
IBS is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation that includes a detailed medical history, lifestyle review, and various tests to rule out other conditions. Dr. Sinha uses the Rome IV criteria for diagnosis, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment.
