Abstract

Few drugs are of proven efficacy in irritable bowel syndrome. Bulking agents probably relieve constipation, spasmolytics may alleviate pain and antidiarrhoeals help control urgency and diarrhoea. With a combination of reassurance and therapeutic intervention up to 75% of patients can be expected to improve. For the 25% who do not, alternative therapies such as stress management, psychotherapy or hypnotherapy may prove effective.

TL;DR

With a combination of reassurance and therapeutic intervention up to 75% of patients can be expected to improve, and alternative therapies such as stress management, psychotherapy or hypnotherapy may prove effective.
