Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder. It means that the bowel doesn’t work as it should. IBS develops because the nerves and muscles in your intestines become extra sensitive and contract faster or slower than normal. This causes a wide array of unpleasant symptoms like stomach cramps, gas, diarrhea, or even constipation.

There are various reasons why it occurs and it effects about 15% of the US population. It often starts in adolescents or young adults. It affects almost twice as many women as men. IBS is usually associated with stress. IBS can be painful, but it does not damage the bowel or cause cancer. However long term IBS can cause depression or hemorrhoids.

Doctors think that IBS might be caused by a neurological problem. Signals are sent between the brain and the intestines. If you are under stress your brain fires either too many or too few signals to intestine muscles. This problem causes the intestine muscles to move food through the intestines too quickly or too slowly, disrupting the normal digestive process of the body. That results in painful cramps and diarrhea or bloating and constipation. Some also see IBS as a functional disorder when the colon is examined and there appears to be no injury or disturbance of the bowels. Despite the associated symptoms of stress, the intestines continue to be healthy.

IBS attacks are triggered by one or more factors: Stress and pressure at work, home or school; stressful events or major changes in your life; anxiety, depression or panic disorder; large meals; consumption of certain trigger foods; medications such as antibiotics; alcohol or caffeinated drinks; hormonal changes in women during their periods. While there is currently no cure for IBS, there are treatments that are available. Treatments may include changing ones diet, taking medications and learning methods for reducing stress.

The first thing people usually do when they have diarrhea or are constipated is to get over-the-counter medications. These medications provide only short term relief. It does not solve the problem. Since IBS is strongly related to stress and anxiety, a doctor may prescribe an anti-anxiety drug. These drugs may relieve IBS, but there is a risk of becoming dependent on these drugs. Also, these drugs contain harsh synthetic chemicals that may have harmful side effects if taken for long periods.
