What is IBS?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects how your stomach and intestines work. It commonly causes abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits—such as diarrhea, constipation, or both. While IBS does not cause permanent damage to the digestive tract, it can significantly affect your comfort and daily routine.
Common Symptoms of IBS
- Abdominal pain or cramping that improves after a bowel movement
- Bloating and excessive gas
- Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between both
- Mucus in the stool
- Feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
- Fatigue, nausea, and sleep disturbances
Causes and Triggers
The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but it’s often linked to:
- Gut-brain axis disturbances (communication issues between the brain and intestines)
- Stress and anxiety
- Food intolerances (like dairy, caffeine, or spicy foods)
- Hormonal changes, especially in women
- Gut infections or post-infectious inflammation
