        abstract = {Background: Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea Predominance (IBS-D) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with frequent loose stools. It significantly affects quality of life and imposes a considerable socioeconomic burden. The pathogenesis of IBS-D involves disturbances in the gut-brain axis, visceral hypersensitivity, altered intestinal motility, immune activation, and gut microbiota dysbiosis.
Objective: To review the current understanding of IBS-D and explore its management from a homoeopathic perspective.
Methods: Literature from peer-reviewed journals, gastroenterology guidelines, and homoeopathic sources published between 2020 and 2026 was reviewed.
Conclusion: IBS-D is a multifactorial disorder requiring individualized management. Homoeopathy may offer a holistic therapeutic approach when prescribed according to the totality of symptoms.},
