But nothing’s ever easy. Either you’re constipated or you have diarrhea. You have terrible gas. And your stomach starts to ache after almost every meal. If your doctor has ruled out other possible causes, you could have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sometimes called spastic or nervous colon, it’s the most common disorder among people with gastrointestinal problems. People with IBS have a difficult time staying regular and often complain of pain somewhere in the digestive system after eating. The good news is that IBS is not dangerous. The natural remedies in this chapter—in conjunction with medical care and used with your doctor’s approval—may help prevent or relieve IBS, according to some health professionals.

BROWSE FOR HEALTH INFORMATION BY TOPIC: HEART CANCER WOMEN MEN ... ALL TOPICS A - Z Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) isn't something people talk about a lot. But if you have IBS you aren't alone; it is quite common. IBS causes crampy pain, gas, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea. It isn't colitis, spastic colon or bowel disease. IBS does not cause an inflammation of the colon and does not lead to more serious conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD includes Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis) or colon cancer. (Read about " Crohn's " " Ulcerative Colitis " " Colorectal Cancer ") Causes and symptoms It is much easier to list the symptoms of IBS than give a cause. That's because the cause is unknown. Unfortunately that also means there is no cure, according to the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA). IBS can be very uncomfortable, causing deep cramps in the lower abdomen. They sometimes come on unexpectedly and in awkward situations. IBS is often thought to have stress related triggers, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). But NIDDK adds that research indicates that the colon muscle of people with IBS appears more sensitive and can begin to spasm after only mild stimulation. Some foods have also been shown to cause reactions. Foods such as chocolate, milk products or large amounts of alcohol are known offenders, says AGA. People with IBS are often encouraged to keep a diary of the foods they eat to try and identify triggers.

Researchers say that over the last two decades, the incidence of serious gastrointestinal disorders, including IBS, has risen significantly. While part of the increase can be attributed to greater awareness of the disorder, other factors are also likely involved. UPMC and other leading centers are trying to learn more about why this is occurring. In IBS, an over-sensitive colon causes chronic, intermittent abdominal pain and discomfort, often severe enough to interfere with daily activities.

Research Primary Carers About Us News IBS Ulcerative Colitis Crohn's Disease Student Health Travel Health Health Search Privacy Policy Dryden Brown Ltd IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME A symptom of irritable bowel syndrome is a cramping, tight feeling in the abdomen, particularly after a meal. This is accompanied by irregular bowel movements with alternating hard movements (constipation) and diarrhoea. It is not known exactly why irritable bowel syndrome occurs but it is known that all kinds of factors have their influence on intestinal movement. The movement may be either large or small. This is why diarrhoea alternates with constipation. The complaint can also be caused by the wrong choice of food and lack of physical exercise. SELF-CARE What you can do yourself Eat low fat and high-fibre foods. You may also add extra fibre to your food (ask for this at the pharmacy). Eating enough wholemeal bread, fruit, raw vegetables, lean meat or fish is often quite adequate. Ensure that you drink enough. This means 3 pints (1.5 litres) per day (minimum) or about 10 cups or 6 glasses. Take regular physical exercise. For instance, where there is the choice always walk, or go running or take at least three quarters of an hour's walk each day. Eat regularly and go to the toilet as soon as you feel the need. Consider whether stress might be having an influence (see section about

University of Florida College of Medicine Shands Health Care Grand Rounds Online Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Past, Present, and Future Introduction Accreditation Lecture with Real Audio Quiz G. Nicholas Verne, M.D. Assistant Professor of Medicine Division of Gastroenterology,Hepatology, and Nutrition The diagnostic Rome II Criteria suggests that for a diagnosis of IBS the patient should have at least 12, weeks of symptoms, which need not be consecutive, in the past 12 months of abdominal discomfort or pain that has 2 of 3 features: Relieved by defecation, and/or onset associated with a change in frequency of stool and/or onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool. Newer diagnostic tools like fMRI may play an increasing role in the proper, timely diagnosis of IBS and help rule out more significant organic disease. Study of pain thresholds and visceral hypersensitivity suggests a strong modulatory role is played by the central nervous system. Recent advances in pharmacotherapy with 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists and 5-HT4 Receptor Agonists may offer better results to treatment in the future. Often IBS is just a mild annoyance, but for some people it can be disabling. A large number of patients are able to control their symptoms through medications prescribed by their physicians, diet, and stress management. IBS has not been shown to lead to any serious, organic diseases. No link has been established between IBS and chronic organic bowel disease or cancer. Author: Dr. G. Nicholas Verne, M.D. /
