[Education to the patients of irritable bowel syndrome: diet and lifestyle advice].

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal illness. In spite of its benign nature, we should pay much attention to IBS because of its huge negative impacts on 'quality of life', not only for mental or physical pain and medical expenses but also for significant social and job-related consequences. The treatment of IBS is based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan, with a proper physician-patient rapport. At the first step in these guidelines, physicians should advise IBS patients about their diet and lifestyle according to their main symptoms. It is also essential for the physicians to educate the patients properly, which relieves the symptoms in many cases without any cost involvement and untoward side effects.
