Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea. IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it does not permanently harm the intestines and does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer. Some people, however, IBS can be disabling. They may be unable to work, attend social events, or even travel short distances.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Causes
The cause of irritable bowel syndrome is currently unknown.
- IBS is thought to result from interplay of abnormal gastrointestinal (GI) tract movements,
- Increased awareness of normal bodily functions,
- Change in the nervous system communication between the brain and the GI tract.
- Abnormal movements of the colon, whether too fast or too slow, are seen in some, but not all, people who have IBS.
- Irritable bowel syndrome has also developed after episodes of gastroenteritis.
- It has been suggested that IBS is caused by dietary allergies or food sensitivities, but this has never been proven.
- Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome may worsen during periods of stress or menses, but these factors are unlikely to be the cause that leads to development of IBS.
Symptoms include
- Abdominal pain or discomfort for at least 12 weeks out of the previous 12 months. These 12 weeks do not have to be consecutive.
- The abdominal pain or discomfort has two of the following three features:- a) It is relieved by having a bowel movement. b) When it starts, there is a change in how often you have a bowel movement. c) When it starts, there is a change in the form of the stool or the way it looks.
- Certain symptoms must also be present, such as:- a) a change in frequency of bowel movements, b) a change in appearance of bowel movements, c) feelings of uncontrollable urgency to have a bowel movement, d) difficulty or inability to pass stool, e) mucus in the stool, f) bloating,
- Bleeding, fever, weight loss, and persistent severe pain are not symptoms of IBS and
- may indicate other problems such as inflammation, or rarely, cancer.
The following have been associated with a worsening of IBS symptoms
- large meals
- bloating from gas in the colon
- medicines
- wheat, rye, barley, chocolate, milk products, or alcohol
- drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, tea, or colas
- stress, conflict, or emotional upsets
