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.
