Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Overview and Management
Many people suffer from this terrible condition and yet no one has an easy, safe remedy. What happens to most is that they are prescribed from a wide range of drugs that do not really address the root causes. It is important, like with all other disease treatment, to agree to a treatment approach that addresses the root cause.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and alterations in bowel habits, including diarrhea and constipation. As a functional disorder, IBS affects gut function without any observable structural abnormalities, making diagnosis primarily based on symptoms.
Causes of IBS
The etiology of IBS is complex and multifactorial, involving several key factors:
1. Gut Motility: Abnormal intestinal contractions can lead to symptoms. Some may experience rapid contractions, resulting in diarrhea, while others may have sluggish contractions, causing constipation.
