Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine. It is characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits, including diarrhea and constipation. The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but it may involve a combination of factors, including gut sensitivity, diet, and stress. Diagnosis of IBS typically involves ruling out other conditions through medical history and tests. While there is no cure for IBS, management strategies include dietary changes, stress management, and medications. Many people with IBS find relief by identifying and avoiding trigger foods.
