What is the best treatment for lower stomach pain I take ibs medication but havent been tested for it the doctor also thought I could have a gluten allergy should I just go ahead and get tested? Recently my stomach has been hurting with or without the medication n usually only at night
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes, your concern is very true. Before we label it as IBS, it is important that we have ruled out all other possibilities. Gluten sensitivity, lactose intolerance should be ruled out. For IBS, stress needs to be relieved. Yoga & meditation help a lot. Avoid late night meals, hot/spicy food, alcohol. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you a healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
