What is Your IBS Subtype?
IBS is not 'one size fits all.' After identifying the core symptoms, the next question is: How do your bowel habits change?
"TYPES OF CHANGED BOWEL HABITS (IBS SUBTYPES)"
IBS-C (Predominant Constipation):
If your struggles involve infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stool, and the sensation of being 'blocked', you likely fall into this group.
IBS-D (Predominant Diarrhea): Conversely, if you frequently experience loose, watery stools and urgent, sudden trips to the restroom, this is your likely subtype.
IBS-M (Mixed Bowel Habits): For many patients, the struggle alternates unpredictably between periods of constipation and diarrhea. A standard routine is a luxury.
Knowing your type is not just diagnostic; it drastically changes how we, as gastroenterologists, tailor your treatment, from dietary adjustments to specific medications.
