Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. IBS is mostly caused by stress & anxiety. There is absolutely no need to worry. Combine following general & medical advise and you will improve:
1. General:
> Stress is in everyone's life but if it overpowers you then it will start causing problem. So try to remain calm and stress free.
> Go out for a walk in the evening. Take a friend or family member and discuss your thought. It will reduce stress.
> If stress is severe then you can visit a psychologist for "Cognitive behavioral therapy" who will guide you relaxation techniques.
2. Dietary Advice:
> Take high fiber diet (peas, beans, broccoli, etc) including psyllium (ispaghul hask)
> Avoid:
* fatty food & caffeine products
* Spicy food.
* Fruits & salads for the time being.
3. Medical:
> Loperamide 2 mg orally thrice a day
> If stress is severe then i would suggest you to consult your doctor who put you on Prozac for dose adjustment.
Conclusion:
IBS is a condition that occurs due to multiple causes, most common include stress, anxiety, drug or hormone induced. So it will automatically improve as soon as you take care of cause. In your case stress and drugs could be the causative factor. If condition does not improve after taking this management then i would suggest you to visit a Gastroenterologist in your area. He will perform some tests to rule out any pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Stress is an important factor in IBS
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Stress is very important factor in IBS. If you are able to control stress then all symptoms get better. IF you frequently feel pain in stomach area after food then there are some medications that can be taken for 1-2 weeks. For that you then need to visit hospital & set an appointment for a "Consultant Gastroenterologist". Hopefully you will recover without them & can continue with your normal daily routine.
Thank You
