Frequently Asked Questions

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a functional disorder causing abdominal pain and altered bowel habits without inflammation. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause chronic inflammation and damage to the digestive tract.

Adults should begin regular colonoscopy screening at age 45, or earlier if there's a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Those with symptoms like rectal bleeding, persistent diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss should consult a gastroenterologist regardless of age.

Treatment focuses on lifestyle modifications including weight loss, healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding alcohol, and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to manage associated conditions.
