Managing both conditions simultaneously requires coordinated care from a neurologist and a gastroenterologist for optimal outcomes. For restless leg syndrome (RLS), it is important to maintain adequate iron levels, practice good sleep hygiene, and consider medications like dopamine agonists, while being cautious, as these medications may sometimes worsen irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. For IBS, following a low-FODMAP diet, avoiding triggers such as gluten, lactose, or high-fat foods, managing stress, and exploring gut-directed therapy can significantly alleviate symptoms.
