Your Journey into Irritable Bowel SyndromeIrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. As its name indicates, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a syndrome. That is, IBS is a combination of signs and symptoms, but not a disease. IBS is classified as a functional disorder. A functional disorder refers to a condition where the primary abnormality is an altered physiological function (the way the body works), rather than an identifiable inflammatory, infectious, structural, or biochemical cause. Research also indicates that IBS is a multi-faceted disorder. For example, the symptoms of IBS result from what seems to be a disturbance or imbalance in the interaction between the intestines, the brain, sensory function, and the autonomic nervous system that alters regulation of bowel motility (motor function).

I will touch on how they are similar and how they are different. Treatment options are discussed, including the role of the gastrointestinal (GI) flora. Further, we will discuss how the gastrointestinal flora relate to food allergies (FA) and how the same FA can have a relationship with IBS. Discussion is given to detoxification of the gut and how it can play a role in IBS and FA. Concluding, an explanation of how probiotics may be used to help turn off inflammation and detoxify the gastrointestinal tract is presented. ********** ...

For example, you are far more likely to have IBS if you're young and female. In fact, two to three times as many women as men have the condition.
