The value of a general therapeutic approach in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome.
The general therapeutic approach is the cornerstone in the management of irritable bowel syndrome, but the effect is poorly documented. ⋯ There was a significant relief of symptoms after 6 months, those with psychological co-morbidity responded less well. The effect of dietary advice was only seen in those with diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome.
