Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is more common than many people realize.
It’s a functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects how the gut and brain interact, leading to symptoms like:
✔️ Abdominal pain or cramping
✔️ Bloating
✔️ Changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or both)
IBS does not cause permanent damage to the intestines, but it can significantly impact daily life.
While there is no single cure, symptoms are often managed through a combination of diet, lifestyle changes, and medical care.
Understanding symptoms is the first step toward better management.
