Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects nearly 15% of the U.S. population—yet many are left without answers or long-term relief. At Patients Medical in NYC, we take a different path. Our integrative care model looks deeper than symptom suppression. We aim to discover and address the root causes of your gut dysfunction—helping you reclaim your health, naturally.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal condition that causes symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements (diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between both). Although the exact cause of IBS remains unclear, factors such as gut dysbiosis, food sensitivities, stress, and inflammation play a key role in the development of the condition.
Sub-Types of IBS:
While stress plays a role, IBS is often rooted in physical, biological imbalances that conventional medicine frequently overlooks.
At Patients Medical, we go beyond routine labs to discover the true cause of your IBS.
Sarah, age 40, had been suffering from IBS-D for over five years. She experienced frequent diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. Traditional treatments provided temporary relief but never solved the issue. After testing, we discovered an imbalance in her gut microbiome and food sensitivities.
Her personalized plan included:
After three months, Sarah’s symptoms were significantly reduced, and she reported fewer flare-ups and improved digestion.

Yes, stress is a common trigger for IBS flare-ups. Managing stress through lifestyle changes and therapies like acupuncture or mindfulness is essential for long-term relief.
