What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common abdominal complaint linked with digestion, and develops in late adolescent or early adulthood. Food leaves the stomach and moves along the small and large intestine by wave like contraction and relaxation of the intestinal wall muscles. But when the muscles go into spasms the result is either diarrhea or constipation.

Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Nausea and gas.
• Feeling of an incomplete bowel movement.
• Bloating, belching, pain and severe to moderate abdominal cramps. Often pain is relieved after bowel movement.
• Under stressful conditions, during menstrual periods and after a big meal symptoms worsen.
• Diarrhea or constipation that lasts for days, weeks or months. Immediately after awakening in the morning or after a big meal symptoms worsen.

Causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Physiological disorder or emotional stress
• Consumption of gas-producing foods like broccoli, beans.
• Eating high-fat foods like margarine, bacon and vegetable oil may cause flare-ups.
• Inability to digest lactose (milk sugar) also produces the same symptoms.

Prevention and Natural cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

1. Avoid milk products if you are lactose-intolerant.
2. Diarrhea may be caused by artificial sweetener, avoid it.
3. Never delay your urge of a bowel movement as it may cause constipation.
4. Eat frequent small meals, they are easy to digest.
5. Avoid food that forms gas and flares-up symptoms.
6. Prolonged use of laxatives may weaken the intestine.

8. Have plenty of whole-grains, fruits and vegetables with plenty of fluids to reduce bloating and promote normal bowel function.
