Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common functional digestive disorder that affects how the bowel works. Although IBS does not cause permanent damage to the intestines, it can significantly affect comfort, energy levels, and daily routine. At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, we provide a supportive and personalised approach to managing IBS, helping patients understand their triggers, reduce flare ups, and regain control of their digestive wellbeing.
IBS varies widely from person to person. Some experience mild episodes, while others face ongoing discomfort. With the right plan and regular specialist support, symptoms can be managed effectively.
