Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

What it is :

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine (colon). It causes uncomfortable or painful symptoms in the abdomen, along with changes in bowel movements. These changes can include diarrhea, constipation, or both.

Symptoms

  • Abdominal pain or cramping, often relieved by a bowel movement
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Mucus in the stool
  • Urgency to have a bowel movement
  • Feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation

Causes

The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but several factors are believed to play a role, including:

  • Muscle contractions in the intestine
  • Increased sensitivity in the gut
  • Changes in the gut microbiome (the balance of bacteria in your intestines)
  • Stress and anxiety

01

Risk Factors

  • Female sex
  • Age (young adulthood)
  • Having a history of mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression
  • A family history of IBS
  • Having a history of a gastrointestinal illness, such as food poisoning

Diagnosis

There is no single test to diagnose IBS. Diagnosis is typically based on your symptoms and a physical exam. Your doctor may also recommend tests to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or celiac disease.

Treatment

There is no cure for IBS, but there are treatments that can help manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. These treatments may include:

  • Dietary changes, such as following a low-FODMAP diet
  • Lifestyle changes, such as stress management and exercise
  • Medications, such as antidiarrheals, laxatives, or antidepressants
