Irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition which causes the intestines
(or bowels, or gut) to be over sensitive. It is a condition marked
by diarrhea, constipation and abdominal pain, and is caused by
excessive contractions of the large intestine.
Irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder which can
cause troublesome and persistent symptoms. These vary greatly
from person to person, but usually include cramping discomfort,
a feeling of fullness or bloating, and a change or disruption
of bowel habit. This can range from constipation (difficult or
infrequent passage of a motion) to diarrhea (frequent or loose
motions and an urgent need to go), or can alternate between the
two.
Irritable
Bowel Syndrome is not considered a disease as such because there
are no organic abnormalities or physical changes. In many people,
however, stress or feelings of anxiety, guilt or resentment seem
to trigger the symptoms, It is probably the most common abdominal
complaint brought to the attention of doctors, affecting one-third
to one-half of all patients who seek relief from gastrointestinal
problems. ::
