Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can benefit from running as part of their recovery process. Patients with IBS need moderate exercise, which can significantly aid in the recovery of their intestinal health. Additionally, IBS is somewhat linked to emotions; engaging in physical exercise can relieve fatigue and shift the patient's focus, which helps in improving the symptoms of IBS. At the same time, patients with IBS should consume a diet consisting of light and easily digestible foods, and avoid greasy or spicy foods.

Is infusion effective for irritable bowel syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized primarily by abdominal pain accompanied by changes in bowel habits and stool characteristics. The abdominal pain is related to bowel movements, and typically eases after defecation. This condition is a functional disorder, meaning that it does not exhibit any organic problems; that is, medical examinations do not reveal any physical abnormalities. It manifests merely as a series of symptoms. Therefore, what type of infusion should be used for this disease? Anti-inflammatory or rehydration? Infusions are generally ineffective. Usually, oral probiotics are used to adjust the intestinal flora to improve symptoms. Alternatively, oral traditional Chinese medicine can also be administered to alleviate the symptoms.

Can an ultrasound detect irritable bowel syndrome?

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders. Its main symptoms are abdominal pain and changes in the nature of stool, with the abdominal pain being related to defecation, meaning that the pain is followed by a bowel movement. Since it is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, there are no organic changes, meaning there are no physical changes in any part of the body. It is solely a functional change, and therefore cannot be detected through an ultrasound. In fact, no tests can detect the functional nature of this disorder. In terms of examining the intestinal mucosa, ultrasound cannot visualize it either. The only way to clearly see the intestinal mucosa is through a colonoscopy, so ultrasound cannot detect irritable bowel syndrome.

What should I do if Irritable Bowel Syndrome often causes bowel sounds and diarrhea?

Irritable bowel syndrome primarily manifests symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bowel sounds. A colonoscopy examination will not reveal any mucosal changes in the intestines, as it is only a functional disorder with no organic alterations. Taking probiotics orally to adjust the gut microbiome can help alleviate these symptoms. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine has unique therapeutic effects. Oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine based on TCM syndrome differentiation can also be effective. Furthermore, external TCM treatments such as moxibustion, herbal enemas, and herbal hydrotherapy can also yield good results in treating this condition.

Can a CT scan check for Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common type of functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized primarily by abdominal pain accompanied by changes in habitual bowel patterns. The abdominal pain is related to defecation, often improving after bowel movements, and the symptoms frequently recur or are chronically persistent. Thus, IBS is a functional disease, meaning it does not involve organic changes. In other words, medical examinations do not reveal problems in any specific part of the body. Therefore, IBS cannot be detected with a CT scan, and CT also cannot visualize the intestinal mucosa. Even diseases like chronic colitis cannot be detected with a CT scan. Any diseases involving the gastrointestinal mucosa cannot be uncovered by CT, hence diagnosis requires the use of gastroscopy or colonoscopy.
