The main symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) manifest as abdominal pain, changes in stool consistency, including diarrhea or constipation, and sometimes the presence of white mucus in the stool. Colonoscopy shows no organic changes in the intestinal mucosa.

The treatment of IBS mainly involves oral probiotics to adjust the gut flora. Additionally, treatment can be conducted through traditional Chinese medicine based on syndrome differentiation, including oral administration of herbal medicine. External traditional Chinese treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint application, hot therapy, and thunder-fire moxibustion can also be effective in treating IBS.

In terms of diet, it is important to consume light, easily digestible foods primarily, avoiding spicy, stimulating, fried, grilled, cold, and sweet foods. Preference should be given to foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge, soup, and noodles.
