Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - Info and Natural Remedies

Irritabe Bowel Syndrome can have different symptoms on different people. However common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome includes:

=> abdominal pain
=> feeling of being bloated
=> gas
=> fatigue
=> frequent diarrhea and/or constipation
=> mucus in the stool

IBS is a chronic condition for most sufferers, although there will likely be times when the signs and symptoms are worse and times when they improve or even disappear completely.

There are no obvious reasons to the cause of irritable bowel syndrome. It is believed that IBS may be caused due to "miscommunication" between the bowel and the brain. The nerves and muscles in the bowel appear to be extra sensitive in people with IBS. The brain may be sending wrong signals to the bowel to expand or contract irregularly.

Women are twice as likely to have IBS and that is why some reasearchers are led to believe that hormonal changes also play a role. Also, many women find that signs and symptoms are worse during or around their menstrual periods.

Other researchers believe IBS is caused by changes in the nerves that control sensation or muscle contractions in the bowel. People with IBS may have a heightened sensitivity to stretching of the bowel with gas leading to pain or bloating. Others believe the central nervous system may affect the colon.

There are many triggers that will stimulate a bout of IBS symptoms. These include:

Diet: Many people feel that when they eat certain foods their symptoms worsen. Common trigger foods often include spicy and fatty foods, high-gas vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and cauliflower, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, including tea and coffee and artificial sweeteners that contain sorbitol and aspartame. Even dairy products can trigger symptoms of IBS.

Stress: Most people find that their signs and symptoms are worse or more frequent during stressful events, such as a change in your daily routine or family arguments. It should be noted that while stress may aggravate IBS symptoms, it doesn't cause them.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be classified as either diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D), constipation-predominant (IBS-C) or IBS with alternating stool pattern (IBS-A or pain-predominant). In some individuals, IBS may have an acute onset and develop after an infectious illness characterised by two or more of the following: fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or positive stool culture. This post-infective syndrome has consequently been termed "post-infectious IBS" (IBS-PI).

Some medicines can also help treat your symptoms. Laxatives can help with your constipation. Antispasmodics control spasms in the colon and help ease abdominal pain.
