Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Expert IBS Care at Premium Healthcare

We take a comprehensive and patient-centered approach to IBS treatment. Our providers in Miami and South Florida work closely with you to diagnose IBS accurately and build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

1. Accurate Diagnosis

There is no single test for IBS, so diagnosis is based on your symptoms and ruling out other conditions. We offer:

• Thorough history and symptom review (using Rome IV criteria) 
• Physical exam and lab work 
• Stool analysis to check for infection or inflammation 
• Blood tests to rule out celiac disease, anemia, or thyroid disorders 
• Referrals for colonoscopy or imaging if needed 

Correct diagnosis ensures you receive the most effective treatment without unnecessary procedures.

2. Individualized Treatment Plans

Managing IBS requires a combination of lifestyle adjustments and targeted medical therapies. Treatment may include:

• Dietary changes – such as a low-FODMAP diet or food sensitivity testing 
• Fiber supplements for IBS-C or anti-diarrheal agents for IBS-D 
• Antispasmodic medications to reduce cramping 
• Probiotics to restore gut flora balance 
• Prescription medications (e.g., linaclotide, lubiprostone, rifaximin) for symptom control 

We customize treatment based on your symptom pattern and how your body responds.

3. Stress and Mental Health Support

Because the brain and gut are closely connected, managing stress is crucial for controlling IBS. We provide:

• Mind-body techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, or yoga 
• Counseling referrals for stress, anxiety, or depression 
• Support for managing IBS-related social and emotional impact 

This holistic approach helps reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-ups.

4. Ongoing Care and Monitoring

IBS is a chronic condition, and symptoms can evolve over time. We offer:

• Regular follow-ups to adjust treatment as needed 
• Education on trigger identification and symptom tracking 
• Coordinated care with gastroenterologists or dietitians 
• Guidance for long-term wellness and prevention
