About IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome, commonly known as IBS, is a long-term digestive condition that can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or changes in bowel habits. Symptoms often vary over time and may be influenced by diet, stress or other lifestyle factors.
At Longeva Wellness, pharmacist-led consultations focus on assessing symptoms carefully, identifying potential triggers and recommending appropriate treatment and lifestyle support.
Recognising IBS Symptoms
IBS symptoms commonly include stomach cramps, bloating, excessive wind and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea, constipation or alternating between both. Symptoms can flare unpredictably and may significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life.
Patients travel to our clinic from Rochdale, Manchester and across Greater Manchester for personalised consultations and treatment advice delivered under clinical supervision.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of symptoms and may include dietary advice, symptom relief medication or prescription treatment where clinically appropriate. Recommendations are tailored to the individual following a full symptom assessment.
Our team also provides practical guidance around lifestyle factors, trigger management and long-term symptom control.
Pharmacist-Led Care
Pharmacist-led consultations allow eligible patients to access selected prescription-only medicines without needing a GP appointment where clinically appropriate.
This approach supports faster access to professional advice and treatment while ensuring symptoms are assessed safely and responsibly.
When To Seek Further Help
Persistent symptoms, unexplained weight loss, bleeding, severe pain or significant changes in bowel habits should always be assessed further by a GP or healthcare professional. Our team advises on when additional medical investigation or referral may be necessary.
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy with pharmacist-led clinical governance, patient safety and professional care remain central to every consultation.
Our clinic offers free on-site parking, refreshments during your visit and convenient access from across Greater Manchester.
