Irritable bowel syndrome, also known as IBS, is a long-term (chronic) gastrointestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and/or constipation.
What are other symptoms of IBS?
Other bowel symptoms include passing mucus, urgency, feeling relief from abdominal discomfort after going to the toilet, going to the toilet more (or less) often and change in stool appearance. Symptoms are usually worse after eating.
Doctors sometimes group people with IBS into one of three categories:
1. Those with abdominal pain or discomfort, with the mains symptoms being bloating and constipation.
2. Those with abdominal pain or discomfort, with the main symptoms being urgency to get to the toilet and diarrhea.
3. Those who alternate between constipation and diarrhe.
However, in most cases, people do not fall neatly into any one category, and there is a considerable amount of overlap.
What Causes IBS?
Unfortunately, doctors are not sure what causes IBS. People with IBS, experience extra sensitivity in the nerves and muscles in the bowel, and may also experience too much muscle contraction when they eat. Cramping and diarrhea can occur during or shortly after meals, or the nerves may react when the bowel stretches, causing cramping or pain.
The actual cause of IBS is not known but may be linked to stress, a stressful life event, anxiety or depression. It may also happen after a stomach upset or a course of antibiotics when there can be a change of bacteria in the bowel.
IBS is known by various other names such as irritable colon, spastic colon, spastic bowel, and functional bowel disease.
Is there a Cure for IBS?
There is no cure for IBS. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms, and includes dietary changes, relaxation techniques, medications and exercise.
Is there a specific Diet for IBS?
Some changes in eating habits can significantly help in controlling IBS symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no one specific IBS diet which works for everybody. People usually have to go through a process of trial and error until their optimum diet is achieved.
We recommend keeping a food diary in which details of your foods eaten, as well as what effect they might have had, are noted. Eventually, you should be able to identify the major trigger foods and avoid them.
Keep in mind that foods don't actually causes IBS, however, some foods may make you feel worse. Foods that may make symptoms worse include foods high in fat or caffeine. Fat and caffeine can cause your intestines to contract, which may cause cramping.
The following are some foods you should eat and foods you should avoid:
Fibre
Fibre may reduce the constipation because it makes stool soft and easier to pass, however, some people with more sensitive nerves may feel a bit more abdominal discomfort after adding more fibre to their diet.
Fibre is found in foods such as breads, cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables.
People with IBS symptoms should add fibre to their diet. It’s a good idea to add a little at a time to let your body get used to it, however, too much fibre at once can cause gas, which can trigger symptoms in a person with IBS.
Eat small meals.
Avoid eating large meals, because they can cause cramping and diarrhea. If this happens to you, try eating four or five small meals a day instead of less-frequent big meals.
