Pharmacist's advice: recurrent bloating, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits should not automatically be attributed to irritable bowel syndrome. Similar symptoms may occur with food intolerances, coeliac disease, infections, inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions. Persistent symptoms, unexplained weight loss, blood in the stool, fever, night-time symptoms or anaemia require medical assessment. Peagastril Forte is a food supplement and should not replace prescribed treatment for IBS, inflammatory bowel disease or other gastrointestinal disorders.
