Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) is a “syndrome,” meaning a group of symptoms. The most
common symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort often reported as
cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and/or constipation. IBS affects the colon,
or large bowel, which is the part of the digestive tract that stores stool.
IBS
is not a disease. It’s a functional disorder, meaning that the bowel doesn’t
work, or function, correctly.
Causes
- The
exact causes for IBS are unknown.
- The
nerves and muscles in the bowel appear to be extra sensitive in people
with IBS. Muscles may contract too much when eat. These contractions can
cause cramping and diarrhoea during or shortly after a meal. Or the nerves
may re act when the bowel stretches, causing cramping or pain.
- IBS
can be painful. But it does not damage the colon or other parts of the
digestive system. IBS does not lead to other health problems.
Symptoms of IBS?
The
main symptoms of IBS are
- Abdominal
pain or discomfort in the abdomen, often relieved by or associated with a
bowel movement
- Chronic
diarrhoea, constipation, or a combination of both
Other symptoms are
- Whitish
mucus in the stool
- A
swollen or bloated abdomen
- The
feeling of “not finished a bowel movement”
Women
with IBS often have more symptoms during their menstrual periods.
Diagnosis
Clinical
diagnosis of IBS is based under Specific symptoms, called the Rome criteria,
can be used to more accurately make this diagnosis.
Diet Changes
Some
foods and drinks make IBS worse.
- Fatty
foods, like French fries
- Milk
products, like cheese or ice cream
- Chocolate
- Alcohol
- Caffeinated
drinks, like coffee and some sodas
- Carbonated
drinks like soda
Some foods make IBS better.
Fibre
may reduce the constipation associated with IBS because it makes stool soft and
easier to pass. However, some people with IBS who have more sensitive nerves
may feel a bit more abdominal discomfort after adding more fibre to their diet.
Fibre is found in foods such as breads, cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables.
Eat small meals.
Large
meals can cause cramping and diarrhoea in people with IBS. Try eating four or five small meals a day
instead of less-frequent big meals.
Does stress cause IBS?
Emotional
stress does not cause IBS. But people with IBS may have their bowels react more
to stress. So stress can make the symptoms worse.
Stress Relief
Learning
to reduce stress can help with IBS.
Meditation,
exercise, hypnosis, and counselling may help.
