I know I already talked much about IBS but you know why I always try to write about IBS? because somehow I want to help to those who are fighting with it and feeling helpless and miserable, I know the pain, I know the misery, yes! of course, it is not life-threatening but what about the misery, pain and low feeling? it just crushes your confidence and you feel that you are the weakest person, no but you are not, you are the strongest person who is fighting with this disorder, let us tell them who does not know anything about IBS, let us give some information about it.
what is irritable bowel syndrome? it also called IBS in short, from the symptoms it is categorized in IBS C, IBS D, and IBS M, IBS C=irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. IBS D=irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. IBS M=irritable bowel syndrome with mixed type means sometimes person suffers from constipation and sometimes with diarrhea.
what are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome or IBS? symptoms may vary according to the type of IBS, but one symptom is common amongst all persons who are suffering from IBS and that is abdominal pain or stomach ache. no certain spot or area of can be told it also varies with the patient to patient but most of the people find that it pains at the lower abdomen. some symptoms of discomfort, bloating, feeling like stomach is always full(some person may feel he/she is hungry even after heavy meal) maybe he/she feels it because of the wrong signal by brain to gut, sharp pain in stomach only get relief after passing gas and many troubles they face with IBS. another thing is it seems that there is very less possibility of any connection of IBS and liver. because in IBS you do not lose your appetite in general.
what are the possible causes of IBS? nobody can tell the exact cause but many possible causes are there. ⊗ miscommunication between brain and gut is on number one position in this list. when you eat something food travels either too slow or too fast because of abnormal movement of the intestine. in diarrhea, it travels too fast and it does not give sufficient time for digestion and intestine cannot absorb the water in food too. it means when you have watery stool it means intestine cannot absorb the water and food passes as it comes. on the other hand in IBS C you food travels too slow and intestine absorbs more water from your food and stool gets hard. did you notice one thing? it means if we are successful to retain our intestine’s movement or if we can control the movement of our intestine we can control the IBS but how to do it, yes! we are searching for it.
⊗ SIBO is another possible cause SIBO means small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. SIBO and IBS symptoms in both cases are almost common except some symptoms.overgrowth of bacteria in small intestine yes! the small intestine is one through which your food comes and after that, it breaks down in very small particle or in liquid form, the liver releases some chemical or acid which is must digest the food, so if your small intestine is with overgrowth of bacteria it means difficult to digest your food properly.
⊗ overdose of antibiotics may kill the good bacteria in your stomach this may be the reason of IBS or any other gastrointestinal diseases. and please stay away from the antibiotics if possible.I mean for any minor disease or problem you should not use it because it may result in longterm bad effects on your stomach.
⊗ even healthy person feels discomfort in the stomach when he/she feels stressed or anxious, it means stress is the trigger for some persons while some say it is the major possible cause of IBS.
⊗ you were sick or ill for long period it may make your digestion poor, this is also the possible cause but not sure it is the cause or just people’s sayings.
