Managing IBS-D Long Term: Medication, Gut-Brain Care, and Supplements (Part 3)
17m | Jun 30, 2026Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) is not about perfection—it's about building a sustainable, wise long-term plan. In this final episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman focuses on the "renew" phase, helping you bring together practical strategies, medical options, and nervous system care for lasting improvement.
Dr. Mike discusses the role of prescription medications when lifestyle changes aren't enough, including targeted options like rifaximin, and explores gut-brain therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and vagus nerve stimulation. He also provides specific supplement recommendations for abdominal pain, bloating, and barrier function, while emphasizing the importance of working with an experienced provider.
This episode offers a practical renewal plan built on five pillars: stable eating patterns, nervous system calming, targeted supplementation, supportive relationships, and a mindset shift from shame to stewardship. If you're ready to move from flare fear to a more comfortable, confident future, this conversation provides the guidance and hope you need.
Tune in for the conclusion of this compassionate series on IBS-D.
