Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting approximately 20% of the population.
Symptoms can vary from person to person but the most common indicators are abdominal pain or discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and flatulence (wind). These can come and go over time or flare up during periods of emotional stress or by eating certain foods.
The symptoms of IBS can have a significant impact on a person’s day-to-day life. As a result, about 40- 60% of IBS patients can experience depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Despite the high frequency of IBS, effective treatments are limited. There is no known cure for the disorder so treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms.
