Hello! Welcome to HCM. Yes, your concern is very true. Before we label it as IBS, it is important that we have ruled out all other possibilities. Gluten sensitivity, lactose intolerance should be ruled out. For IBS, stress needs to be relieved. Yoga & meditation help a lot. Avoid late night meals, hot/spicy food, alcohol. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you a healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
