      Chapter 1

      What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

      Irritable bowel syndrome is something that no one really wants to talk about, but more people need to hear about.

      This condition affects an average of 50% of those that visit the gastroenterologist each year.  Even if you haven’t gone there yet, it is likely that at some point, you will want to make the journey. 

      The condition is one that is likely to cause you a great deal of pain and discomfort. For that reason, it is imperative to learn all that you can about what irritable bowel syndrome is as well as how it can be relieved.  That’s what we aim to do here.  But, before you can find relief from irritable bowel syndrome, you must know what it actually is.

      What Is It?

      IBS, as it is called for short, is also known as spastic colon.  In this condition, individuals will experience pain in their abdomen.  The pain is due to a disorder of the function of your bowel.  In addition to the pain, you may also experience changes in normal bowel habits.

      IBS Symptoms

      There are many symptoms that can be attributed to irritated bowel syndrome.  Learning about these can help you and your doctor to get a start on what’s wrong.  In many cases, IBS symptoms may seem like a normal bowel, but in fact there could be additional problems lurking. 

      The most frequent symptoms include:

      Pain in the lower abdomen

      Bloating

      Pain that is relieved by defecation

      If you are suffering from any of these conditions, you may want to talk to your doctor, especially if they are recurring. 

      The symptoms that you may experience may feel like diarrhea or even constipation.  In some individuals it moves from one extreme to the next. A change in the stool is often a symptom of IBS. 

      It is also believed that those that have other conditions are more likely to experience IBS.  Those conditions include chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, chronic
