uin	6036
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic, relapsing, and often lifelong disorder of gastrointestinal function. The exact cause of IBS is not known, and whilst symptoms may be managed, there is no known cure. Unfortunately, this means there are no actions that could be taken through a strategy to reduce incidence of the condition.</p><p>IBS symptoms can vary in type and severity between patients, as can the triggers for exacerbation of symptoms; however, these symptoms may be controlled with certain treatment approaches. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) best practice guideline on IBS recommends management approaches that include dietary and lifestyle advice, pharmacological therapy and referral for psychological interventions. The NICE guideline can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg61/resources/irritable-bowel-syndrome-in-adults-diagnosis-and-management-pdf-975562917829" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg61/resources/irritable-bowel-syndrome-in-adults-diagnosis-and-management-pdf-975562917829</a></p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 05/09/2017 14:18:00 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
