<human>: My mother spends most of her time in the bathroom, has stomach aches , and gas. She has consulted over 25 doctors and none were able to help her. Until recently a psycologist was able to diagnose her with IBS Diarhea. What medication can she take to treat the problem.(Is allergic to soya and milk) Thank you for your time.
<bot>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned how old she is and about the tests that have been done. There is no specific test to diagnose IBS-D. Before attributing the symptoms to IBS-D, other conditions causing these symptoms like infection, malabsorption, medical conditions should be ruled out. A complete blood count, stool test, blood glucose test, upper GI endoscopy with duodenal biopsy, colonoscopy should be done. If it is IBS -D, then probiotics, antispasmodics and antidepressants may be given.
