What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), is one of the most frequently occurring gastrointestinal disorders accounting for (41% of all visits to gastrointerology practices). Sometimes called spastic colitis or nervous colon, common symptoms may include cramping, bloating and alternating diarrhea and constipation. People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome have been found to be almost three times more likely to miss work (13.4 vs. 4.9 days) than someone without IBS.
What Can I Do About Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
The exact cause of IBS is not known. Therapies that include dietary changes and nutritional support often help. Significant changes in dietary habits and elimination of common foods that cause allergies ( refined carbohydrates, dairy or lactose, and sugars) may reduce IBS symptoms.
