IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common health condition that affects the large intestine and causes symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. While it is a chronic condition, for most people, symptoms are not severe and are manageable with diet and lifestyle changes. Unlike some other digestive health conditions, irritable bowel syndrome does not change the bowel tissues or increase the risk of colon cancer.

Common Symptoms
- “I have significant stomach pain and cramping every time I have a bowel movement.”
- “I often feel gassy and bloated, and sometimes I have mucus in my stool.”
- “I suffer from bouts of diarrhea, especially when I eat certain foods, like dairy products.”
