  5. I'm dealing with IBS and it's been tough figuring out how to manage it. I'm really trying to avoid junk food and dairy, but does this mean I have to stick with that forever? Are there any other ways to relieve the bloating, like maybe some tablets or something? How long does it usually take for symptoms to start improving?

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a chronic condition and there is no definite cure for it. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. It varies from person to person, but it may take several weeks to months to see improvement with treatment. Having IBS mean that avoiding junk foods, milk items for the rest of the life? It is recommended to avoid trigger foods that worsen IBS symptoms, such as junk foods and dairy products. For bloating relief, you can try over-the-counter simethicone tablets
