info on IBS disease?!
Question:
irritable bowel syndrom
Answers:
another good subject to look into is diet. IBS and depression run hand in hand. IBS is the actual cause of depression in about 3 out of 4 patients. Lean towards a diet for diabetics. Try 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones and try to replace your habitual eating habits with foods that are healthy or keep a food diary to see what it is that is making your IBS symptoms worse.
Other Answers:
any health site you pick on the web will have info on IBS it's very common.
Type irritable bowel syndrome and you'll get loads of sites to look through.
IBS is also known as spastic colon, recurring symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping that appear without a cause. If you suspect that you have this it is recommended that you see a gastroenterologist(a doctor who specializes in disorders of the intestinal tract).
Above you have some good answers. One thing..IBS is difficult to define and it is rather a "diagnosis of exclusion," meaning you first get ruled out for other diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's and then if no one can find anything structurally wrong with the colon, the term "IBS" gets applied.
Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements, diarrhea, and/or constipation.
