Despite being a fairly common disorder (affecting roughly 30% of the population), irritable bowel syndrome remains a mystery to us. Most do not really know what its symptoms are and, more importantly, how it can be treated.

This condition is usually associated with abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloated stomach, noisy tummy, dizziness, sickness, backaches, flatulence, and slow digestion. It could also cause people to suffer emotionally.

When you start experiencing any of these symptoms, consult with your doctor. During your visit, help him make the correct diagnosis by providing him with relevant information about your disorder. Let him know when it all started, how bad the pain is, and how often do these symptoms surface.

And even if this is a benign condition, you need to follow the doctor’s orders to the letter. Not doing so will make the pain more intense and force you to take leave of absence or refrain from doing your daily duties.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Medications

After examining your history and laboratory results, your doctor will prescribe a medicine to address your problems. Among the most recommended medicines for this disorder are Alostron and Tegaserod. Alostron effectively decreases abdominal sensitivity as well as relieves other symptoms of this disorder.

This also works for pregnant women, who are more likely to experience more intense pain. Tegaserod increases the movement of your intestines and as a result, eases the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

These medicines will help make you well enough to go about with your daily routines and activities. With their help, you could be having irritable bowel syndrome but still feel up for the challenges of day-to-day life. These are especially helpful to those experiencing severe pain, diarrhea, or constipation, but don’t respond to other medications.

A word of caution though: don’t drink these medicines on your own. If Alostron or Tegaserod is suited for your condition, your physician will give a prescription for any of these. This expert will determine, based on your severity and response to other medications, which one is more appropriate for you.

In addition, your doctor will most likely ask you to consult a nutritionist, a professional who will create a proper diet for you. You need to stick to this diet because it is the only thing that can prevent your irritable bowel syndrome from recurring.
