When you start experiencing serious digestive problems, it could be easy to assume IBS may be the problem. Dr. Peyton Berookim talked with Bustle on how you can look for certain signs that will point to IBS NOT being the root of your stomach issues. It is very possible that your eating habits are the true cause of your stomach issues. Are you eating too much fiber or drinking too much caffeine? These could both have the same symptoms as IBS leading to self-misdiagnosis.
There are many overlapping symptoms between IBS and other common stomach issues, so it can be difficult to identify what you have. Accurate diagnosis leads to accurate treatment so if your stomach issues continue even after ruling out other problems, then it’s important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Peyton Berookim.
