About Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system, causing symptoms such as stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms tend to be intermittent, occurring in episodes that can last for varying durations, ranging from days to weeks or even months.
IBS is typically a chronic condition, which means it can last a lifetime. Living with IBS can be frustrating and significantly impact one’s daily life.
While there is no known cure for IBS, there are approaches that can help manage and control the symptoms. Making dietary changes and utilizing medications can often provide relief.
The exact cause of IBS is still unknown, but several factors have been linked to its development. These include abnormal movement of food through the digestive system, oversensitive nerves in the gut, high levels of stress, and a family history of IBS.
