It’s really important that you’ve been to see your G.P. (doctor) and have had a diagnosis of IBS before you start this programme.
Although it is tempting to self-diagnose, the symptoms of IBS (like bloating, tummy pain or a change in your poop) are the same as those we see in conditions like coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. If these go undiagnosed, they can lead to more serious health problems, so it’s important to make sure you’re starting with the right diagnosis.
A visit to your G.P. will help get you on the right path to managing your symptoms. You will most likely be sent for a blood test, which will help your doctor to determine whether your symptoms are down to IBS. They will ask some questions about your symptoms and poo habits, and how long these have been going on.
I know it might feel embarrassing to discuss your poo habits with your G.P., but I promise they’ve heard it all before. If you don’t know where to start, you might it helpful to take a symptom diary with you, to help describe what you’ve been experiencing.
