IBS
‘Symptoms vary, but typically include tummy pain or discomfort, bloating, wind and a change in bowel habit,’ says IBS specialist dietician Laura Tilt (tiltnutrition.co.uk). ‘So that might mean going to the loo more or less often than you used to, and having diarrhoea, constipation or both.’ How to fix it: ‘Treatment depends on individual symptoms,’ says Dr Holmes. ‘There is no test for IBS, so it is important to see your GP to ensure other causes have been considered.’
