<unk><unk><unk>  (IBS) is heterogeneous in its presentation. There are no strict guidelines for the treatment of IBS and therapy is mostly symptom-based. All IBS patients are required to adopt a diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). A psychiatric referral and regular exercise are considered necessary in all IBS patients. Pharmacological therapy is adjunctive and only preferred in patients where symptoms of IBS are moderate-severe in intensity and markedly impair the quality of life. Pharmacological therapy administered to patients is based on the predominant symptom with diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant and pain-predominant sub-types having their own different regimens. New therapies such as herbal medicines, tight-junction modulators, mast cell stabilizers, acupuncture, and mind body therapy currently have an uncertain role in the treatment of IBS.
