Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder characterized by abdominal discomfort or pain and abnormal bowel functions. It is a chronic condition affecting between 25 and 45 million people in the United States, although it is more common in women than men. Other risk factors include being under 50 years of age, a family history of IBS, and mental health problems. 

Symptoms of IBS include abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and mucus in stools. Certain factors may trigger IBS, including some foodstuffs, stress, and hormones. 

The exact cause of IBS is not known, but there are a number of factors that may contribute to the condition. These include abnormalities in nerves of the digestive system, inflammation of the intestines, muscles contractions in the intestines, severe infections, and bacterial changes in the gut. 

Medication, changes to diet, medical foods, and lifestyle changes can help prevent or alleviate the symptoms of IBS. Options include counseling, therapy, and relaxation exercises. Drug classes commonly prescribed to treat IBS include anticholinergics/antispasmodics for functional bowel disorders, belladonna and derivatives, chloride channel activators, intestinal antibiotics, serotonin receptor drugs for functional bowel disorders, and other products for functional bowel disorders.
