Alternative therapies such as acupuncture biofeedback and hypnotherapy can provide effective natural approaches to IBS ·Research has found that starting an exercise programme can also be of great benefit to those with irritable bowel ·Conventional drugs may be necessary for symptom relief so the author alerts you to the pros and cons of a wide array of pharmaceuticals
