Prognosis:
It is very hard to cure IBS
but not really impossible. We find out in our practice Ayurveda
is very much successfull to give diseases free life. In vataj
prakruti people specifically when they are suffering from
another vattaj diseases like – bronchial asthma etc
is very much difficult to cure the IBS.
It is possible to cure IBS
in children but hard in middle age and older patient.
