I've been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and I'm feeling pretty confused about how to find the right treatment. Is IBS something that can actually be treated or am I likely to struggle with this long-term? I'm open to trying out different treatments, whether it's allopathic, homeopathic, or Ayurveda, but I just don't know where to start. Any advice on what might be the best route to take?
