Expert outlines three self-help strategies for managing IBS

Medical researcher Fahad Alkhodairi has said that managing anxiety and stress—and thus alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)—begins with the individual’s own mindset and behavioral changes.

Writing on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Alkhodairi outlined three self-help strategies:

1 - Shift away from negative thinking patterns; instead of focusing on the problem itself, concentrate on finding the right solutions.

2 - Engage in productive activities that help resolve the issue, rather than dwelling on complaints.

3 - Delegate tasks by sharing responsibilities with others, according to your role, resources, and management of the situation.
