Irritable Bowel Syndrome treatment in Coyoacán

Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional disorder of the digestive system in which the intestine becomes more sensitive and its functioning changes, without any visible damage to its structure.

Common symptoms: abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, gas, and changes in the rhythm of bowel movements, which can alternate between diarrhea and constipation.

Common causes: it is usually related to the way the intestine and the nervous system interact, and factors such as stress or certain foods often play a role.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who assesses these symptoms and rules out other causes; the nutritionist can help with the management of diet. If the digestive discomfort is recurrent, discussing it with a professional helps to understand it better.
