| IRRITABLE BOWEL (IBS) |
Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional bowel disorder. This means that the movement of the digestive tract
is impaired but doctors can find no change in physical structure, such as inflammation or tumors. Most people
who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have mild symptoms that usually don't disrupt their lives. About 25%
of people who have IBS have more bothersome symptoms that occasionally disrupt work, school, or other
activities. Episodes may be related to stress or to eating a particular type of food. In these people,
physical and emotional factors may affect their symptoms.
IBS affects 14-24% of women and 5-19% of men. Many people with IBS say that their symptoms began during
periods of major life stress such as a divorce, death of a loved one, or school exams. Many patients also
report the onset of symptoms during or shortly after recovering from a gastrointestinal infection or
abdominal surgeries. Symptoms of IBS may appear after eating certain food to which you may be sensitive.
The type of food which causes symptoms varies from person to person. Flareups sometimes occur with any
of the above factors.
You may be able to help IBS by improving your diet and taking herbal remedies.
Learning to reduce and manage your stress can be useful as well.
