“I feel my stomach is very sensitive. Low room temperature, spicy food, and even feeling anxious can cause an upset stomach in my case. Sometimes when I am stuck in traffic, I also feel like having diarrhea at an inappropriate time.”

IBS and Its Symptoms
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a common disorder that affects your digestive system, mainly your large intestine. About 1/10 of the world population has IBS. People with IBS usually experience excessive gas, abdominal pain, and cramps.
There are generally three types of IBS:
IBS with constipation (IBS-C): Most of your poop is hard and lumpy.
IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D): Most of your poop is loose and watery.
IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS-M): You have both hard and lumpy bowel movements and loose and watery movements on the same day.
The Causes of IBS
The precise cause of IBS is yet unknown. However, some research suggested that the colon muscle contracts more in people with IBS than in people without it. Some results also showed that the brain would send wrong signals to your intestines and cause your body to overreact to normal changes in the digestive process.
In addition, infections, life stress, and changes in gut microbes could also be factors involved in the development of IBS.
The Complications of IBS
Unlike mild upset stomachs, moderate to severe IBS can impact your quality of life. These annoying bowel symptoms can disrupt your daily activities and interfere with your plans. Moreover, experiencing the signs and symptoms of IBS can lead to depression or anxiety and worsen your health condition.
Besides, chronic constipation or diarrhea can cause hemorrhoids.
The Treatments of IBS
No single treatment works for everyone, but most people with IBS can find relief by changing their dietary and lifestyle habits.
Dietary changes:
- Eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts to increase fiber in your diet.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
- Avoid caffeine, including coffee, chocolate, teas, and sodas.
- Limit cheese and milk due to potential lactose intolerance.
Lifestyle changes:
- Exercise regularly.
- Quit smoking.
- Try relaxation techniques.
- Eat smaller meals more often.
- Record the foods you eat to figure out which foods trigger IBS flare-ups.
Your doctor may prescribe antidepressant medications if you have depression and anxiety and other medicines to relieve diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain. They may also recommend probiotics to help improve your digestion.
