IBS

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that causes great discomfort for those suffering from its effects. The irritability of the bowels prevents bowel movements from being regular and comfortable, which is why IBS is often related to diarrhea, constipation, cramping, feelings of being bloated, and bowel movements that are inconsistent in texture and size.

Symptoms: IBS symptoms include changes in bowel movement patterns, pain in the lower abdomen, mucus in stools, bloating and excess gas.
