Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS is a health condition where the patient suffers multiple symptoms, including cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. People suffering from this condition may have all or some of these symptoms, and it may last up to several months. IBS may cause constipation alongside other symptoms like bloating or gastritis. [1] This condition tampers with regular bowel function and may cause straining, infrequent stools, hard or lumpy stools. IBS patients often complain about a frequent feeling that the bowel is full.
There are a few ways to correct this health condition and improve some of the symptoms. Although increasing dietary fiber may alleviate constipation, it may worsen other symptoms like gastritis and cramping. A personal health study or medical assessment may help the patient spot problem foods. Eliminating the foods that trigger your symptoms is essential. Sudden changes of eating routine may cause IBS, leading to constipation. It is best to eat at regular times and without skipping meals. Persons that follow an eating routine at about the same time each day are less likely to develop irritable bowel syndrome.
