Chronic sinusitis and IBS
I just want to know if IBS and chronic sinusitis have any relation or does one affect the other?
I am suffering from IBS since 2 yrs and thats when sinus problems started showing up also candida overgrowth in oesophagus and on outer skin of shoulder, chest, stomach, and back.
After unsuccessful treatment of balanitis for 6 months had to do a surgery and get it removed.
I did everything from dr's to diet to yoga but my IBS symptoms didn't improve much.
But my recent observation is that whenever my sinus problem reduces I don't have any digestion issue.
Is there any relation between the two problems? please guide me.

There is no definitely defined condition relation between the two but the chronic inflammatory markers in sinusitis can have an impact on the bowel symptoms also further IBS is more die to stress so the mental and physical stress due to the chronic sinusitis symptoms may be aggravating ua ibs symptoms. The treatment of both are different while chronic sinusitis mainstay of treatment is steroids mostly local and sometimes systemic, the IBS can be handled with alosetron, rifaximin, chollordiazepoxide etc. u need a thorough consultation with physician and lot of relaxing exercises.
