Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Triggers and Treatment

Donaldson Vesterdal*

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common illness that affects the large intestine. Physical signs include muscle soreness, stomach discomfort, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation, or maybe both. You will have to cope with IBS for a long time. Only a small minority of IBS individuals experience serious symptoms and signs. Some people can manage their symptoms with diet, lifestyle, and stress management. More significant symptoms may benefit from pharmaceuticals and therapy. IBS does not cause changes in intestinal tissue or increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
