Irritable Bowl Syndrome, or IBS, is a disorder in which the nerves that control the muscles in the digestive tract are too active causing it to become sensitive to food, stool, gas, and stress. It sometimes causes abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation or diarrhea

Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome can present with pain, constipation, or diarrhoea. In some patients there may be important psychological aggravating factors which respond to reassurance and possibly specific treatment e.g. with an antidepressant. A laxative (section 1.6) may be needed to relieve constipation. Antimotility drugs such as loperamide (section 1.4.2) may relieve diarrhoea and antispasmodic drugs (section 1.2) may relieve pain. Opioids with a central action such as codeine are better avoided because of the risk of dependence.

Exactly what it says...irratable bowel. Youll have either diahrea or constipation. Having the feeling of having to go all the time. Youll have nausea too.

irratable bowel syndrome is when you body is rejecting certain foods. go to the doctor asap and have it sorted. my mum suffered for years and years. changing your diet. cut out dairy foods and spicy food for a few weeks and see if you feel any better. but go to the doctor.

IBS is often caused by stress and anxiety causing your stomach muscles to cramp uncontrollably. It can also be brought on my certain food types such as diary products or carbonated drinks although the latter is fairly rare.
IBS is also sometimes diagnosed as migraine of the stomach but many doctors believe that this is a completely different disorder.

a condition that can mimic yptom of peptic ulcer disease, but not as dangerous as one.
