What Is The Best Treatment For Mixed IBS? - #61119
I am feeling pretty overwhelmed with my IBS symptoms lately. It's like one day I'll be okay, and then the next it's all bloating, cramps, and this endless cycle of anxiety about what I eat. I read somewhere that IBS treatment Ayurveda might actually help—like, could that really be a thing? I mean, is it possible that Ayurveda could cure IBS completely? Because honestly, I’m tired of just managing it. I have tried different diets and I can’t figure out what works best for mixed IBS. Also, I can’t help but worry, like, can you live a long life with IBS? I don't want this to define my life, you know? Sometimes, the anxiety feels like it’s feeding into my IBS, making everything worse. Can anxiety be treated with IBS in mind? Like, if I get my digestive health sorted, might that help the anxiety too? I just want to feel normal again and not constantly plan my life around bathroom breaks. Any insights on how Ayurveda approaches all this? Thanks in advance!
