Author: Doctor Grosman

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is considered to be a common disorder that can affect the large intestine. The symptoms or signs include abdominal pain, cramping, gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea or both. This is a chronic condition which one will need to manage long term. There are only minimal people with IBS who have severe symptoms and signs.There are some people who can control their symptoms by just managing their diet, stress, and lifestyle. If there are many severe symptoms, then those can be treated with counseling and medication. The IBS will nowhere cause changes in bowel tissue or increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

The symptoms and signs of IBS will vary from person to person, but the most common ones include:

  1. Cramping, abdominal pain, or bloating which is typically relieved or partially by passing down a bowel movement
  2. Mucus in the stool
  3. Excess gas
  4. Constipation or diarrhea where there is sometimes an alternating bout of constipation and diarrhea.

The people with IBS experience times when the symptoms and signs are worse, but they also experience times when the symptoms improve or disappear completely.

Patients with IBS should consult a doctor when there is a persistent change in bowel habits or other symptoms and signs of the IBS. This might indicate that there is a much more serious condition like colon cancer were more serious symptoms and signs include:
