Can IBS treatment be prescribed online in Europe? IBS treatment online explained under EU telemedicine standards.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder causing recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, or mixed bowel habits. Diagnosis is based on symptom criteria after excluding red-flag features. This episode explains how IBS is assessed remotely and when prescription treatment may be appropriate.

You will learn:

• How IBS is diagnosed using symptom patterns and duration criteria

• The difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

• How a doctor evaluates red-flag symptoms (rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, anaemia, persistent fever)

• When dietary modification (e.g. low FODMAP), fibre, or antispasmodics may be considered

• When medication may be appropriate for diarrhoea- or constipation-predominant IBS

• When a prescription request may be declined due to diagnostic uncertainty or alarm features

All IBS treatment requests through Mobi Doctor require individual medical evaluation and compliance with EU regulatory standards. Not all digestive symptoms are suitable for remote management.

This episode is educational and does not replace urgent or specialist in-person medical care.
