Finding it difficulty to express,
I have been told 3 years back (before marriage) based on few indications about ?IBS. Then i took treatment from an gastro and i was alright. even now not some significant issues. but the main problems as follows:
1. Some kind of irritation / sounds in the bowel after some time it motivates to go to wash room. after this about 3-4 hrs it will be normal & then will start again, especially during travel , after food, after taking too spicy / hot.
as of now natural treatment that i have adopted is -multiple times going to wash room.
