Answer 1

Answer 2

My mum also has serious problems with IBS, but it seems to be triggered by/due to different things in different people. Perhaps he could try (if he hasnt already) getting a food intolerance test as it may be something specific he is eating that triggers it. Alternatively, keeping a food diary and cutting certain things out of the diet to see if it has any impact. I just read Lollipops reply above, who obviously doesn't have and has never met anyone with, IBS. People with extreme IBS may get to the stage where they cannot leave the house and their diet is severely restricted. When an attack of IBS occurs it can mean pain and discomfort in mild cases, all the way to complete loss of control. Unfortunately when this happens there is nothing to stop it, and if you are not very close to a toilet the result can be extremely embarassing. Your father needs your support through this. The symptoms associated with IBS can be so embarassing that you would not want to tell anyone about it.

Answer 3

There are a lot of things you can do to keep your IBS symptoms under control, to the extent that you may even call it a cure. For instance, if you avoid all oily foods, take adequate fiber, drink plenty of water and reduce your stress levels. There are also solutions like ayurvedic or traditional chinese medicine that can help.

Answer 4

This question really belongs under mental rather than cancer. There is cure for irritable bowel syndrome, if the underlying stress condition can be cured???

Answer 5

Try to eat less oily and junk stuff drink lots of water that only can help you in this.
But do visit doctor so that he can give you certain soothing medicines to reduce the irritable effect.
