I am a 21 year old male who was diagnosed with IBS and is nervous about it. Is irritable bowel syndrome manageable?
Yes. Discuss this with your doctors.
Yes, there are many ways to treat IBS. Diet changes, over-the-counter medications, prescription medications are all available. A GI specialist would best be able to assist you. Goal would be to reduce symptoms so that they don't bother you as much and affect your daily activities.
