People plagued with frequent bouts of unexplained diarrhea would be wise to discuss IBS with their doctor. IBS can present with severe diarrhea which may or may not alternate with constipation. Severe intestinal cramping may also accompany diarrhea. Symptoms of IBS can be brought on by certain foods, though some people with IBS have undetermined symptoms. The best treatment for IBS is to avoid foods that trigger symptoms whenever possible. Taking a high-quality probiotic regularly may also provide some relief.
