08/23/2022
IBS is a complex condition with diverse symptoms. A so-called trifecta of root causes is proposed as the source of most symptoms: dysbiosis, inflammation, and leaky gut. Dietary interventions, like the low FODMAP diet, may promote a healthy microbiome, reduce inflammation, and ease digestive symptoms. Supplements and digestive enzymes may also be warranted to remove pathogenic bacteria and promote intestinal repair.
