Prognosis for Irritable bowel syndrome:
IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but
it does not cause permanent harm to the intestines and does not lead to
intestinal bleeding of the bowel or to a serious disease such as cancer.
Often IBS is just a mild annoyance, but for some people it can be
disabling. They may be unable to go to social events, to go out to a job,
or to travel even short distances. Most people with IBS, however, are able
to control their symptoms through medications prescribed by their
physicians, diet, and stress management.
