FAQs

Can lifestyle changes help manage IBS?

Yes, lifestyle changes can be effective in managing IBS. Dietary modifications, such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and following a low-FODMAP diet, can help reduce symptoms. Regular physical activity, staying hydrated, managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule can also support digestive health and reduce IBS symptoms.

What causes IBS?

The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of factors, including abnormal muscle contractions in the intestines, heightened sensitivity to pain in the digestive tract, imbalances in gut bacteria, food sensitivities, and stress. Genetics, infections, and changes in the gut-brain axis may also contribute to the development of IBS.

What are the common symptoms of IBS?

Common symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain or cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between diarrhea and constipation. Some individuals also experience mucus in their stool, a feeling of incomplete bowel movements, and fatigue. The severity and frequency of symptoms vary from person to person.
