Changes in bowel habits can be attributed to a variety of causes, ranging from dietary factors to medical conditions. Common causes include Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which affects bowel function, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which causes inflammation in the gut. Infections from bacteria, viruses, or parasites can also lead to changes. Food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance or sensitivity to FODMAPs, are frequent culprits. Additionally, medications, coeliac disease, bowel polyps, and even thyroid disorders can alter bowel habits. Identifying the cause is crucial for effective treatment and management.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Services” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” top_divider_style=”wave2″ top_divider_color=”#0C71C3″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Diagnostic Procedures for Bowel Changes” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”c33f07d9-41e0-421a-8799-5799df695cce” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” title_text_color=”#0e0c19″ title_font_size=”50px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”28px” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#059afe” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac” text_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#3c3a47″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_font=”|Lato_weight|||||||” link_text_color=”#5db9fe” quote_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” quote_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.15em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_5_font_size=”18px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_6_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_6_font_size_tablet=”13px” header_6_font_size_phone=”13px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Once the underlying cause of your bowel habit change is identified, a tailored treatment plan can be developed. This may include dietary modifications, such as increasing fiber intake or following a low FODMAP diet, to alleviate symptoms. Probiotics and gut-directed therapies can also support digestive health. Medications like antispasmodics, laxatives, or anti-diarrhoeals may be prescribed to manage symptoms effectively. For conditions like IBD or coeliac disease, specific management strategies are crucial. In cases where polyps are found, monitoring or surgical removal might be necessary. Referral to a colorectal surgeon is available if needed, ensuring comprehensive care for your bowel health.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#059afe” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac” text_font=”Lato|Lato_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#3c3a47″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_font=”|Lato_weight|||||||” link_text_color=”#5db9fe” quote_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” quote_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_font_size=”72px” header_line_height=”1.15em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_3_font_size=”32px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” header_4_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_4_font_size=”24px” header_4_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_5_font_size=”18px” header_5_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Montserrat|Montserrat_weight|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#0e0c19″ header_6_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_4_font_size_phone=”15px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_5_font_size_tablet=”15px” header_5_font_size_phone=”14px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_6_font_size_tablet=”13px” header_6_font_size_phone=”13px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]
