Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by : Would it really be worth it for me to see a nutritionist?
I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome last Monday and I was wondering if they could really do anything for me? Seeing how different people have different triggers, would it really be beneficial to me or would it just be a waste of time and money?

You will need to learn what triggers the IBS. Once you learn that you just have to avoid those foods. Also be aware of spices. Spicy food is usually a trigger as well. Have mine under control pretty well.

When I take antibiotics I get a really upset stomach, which I was told is because the antibiotics also kill the ‘friendly bacteria’ in the gut.
Is it worth taking probiotics to try to replace the friendly bacteria? Or will the antibiotics just kill them too?
Thanks
