Irritable bowel syndrome — As the name suggests affects your bowel which is also your large intestine. It is an important part of your digestive system which makes and stores stool. This con­dition is asso­ciated with many symptoms due to which it is termed as syndrome. You may be shocked or sur­prised by the number of people who are affected by this kind of a problem. IBS cannot be termed as a disease but a func­tional disorder related to the bowel. Intestinal diseases like ulcerative colitis and Cohn’s disease can damage your intestine but IBS does not harm your intestine through inflam­mation or any other methods. The key to control this syndrome is to have a healthy and stress free lifestyle. This syndrome puts you through lot of pain and discomfort.

Some common reasons which cause this syndrome are large meals, bloated colon, specific medicines and food. Stress may not be directly related to IBS but if you are suf­fering from IBS, stress can surely aggravate the situation. It is known that during men­strual periods chances of IBS increases due to change in hormonal pattern. Common symptoms which pinpoint towards IBS are bloated stomach, abdominal pain with cramps, diarrhea, con­stipation, excess gas/​ flat­ulence, mucus in the stool.

Food becomes an important part when affected by IBS. There is no one food which triggers this problem. Any food which is high in fat, insoluble fiber (which cannot be dis­solved in water like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and cereals and caffeine (in any form like car­bonated beverages, tea, coffee and even decaf) can cause this problem. Soluble fibers on the other hand are our saviors. They can get through problems like diarrhea and con­stipation. An increased fiber diet really helps you beat this problem. But excess of anything can be trouble. Other than helping you out from this mess it may push you further into it. There are no specific treatments which can cure IBS problem but by using pre­ventive measure we can relieve the symptoms. A change in ones lifestyle can make a huge dif­ference to fight this con­dition. Some dietary changes, changes in medicines as well as counter attacking stress-​​related problem make a lot of difference.
