How to Deal with IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder. It affects both the small and large intestines. With IBS, your gut becomes more sensitive, and its muscular contractions don’t work the way they should.

IBS is considered a functional disorder, as there is nothing wrong with the actual structure of your bowel — the problem is with how it works. People with IBS usually experience multiple symptoms that include:

• Abnormalities in bowel movement with abdominal pain and cramping.
• Constipation that generally appears with incomplete bowel movement
• Diarrhea with an urgent need to move the bowels
• Gas and bloating
• Urge to move the intestines, but an inability to do so
• Mucus in the stool

Diet and cold can induce symptoms of aggravated or recurring IBS. Many of us don’t know that irritable bowel syndrome comes in several different forms, and different kinds of IBS have different treatments. Taking medication blindly often leads to irritable bowel syndrome or long-term/chronic problems, making it difficult to cure IBS in a better way.

Subtypes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

IBS has three subtypes, and they are equally common:

• Alternating type IBS (IBS-A)
  • It deals with diarrhea and constipation. People with IBS-A suffer from both conditions from time to time.
• Diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D)
  • This condition appears with regular bowel movements, constant feelings of urgency, and loose and watery stools. It is commonly called IBS-D.
• Constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C)
  • IBS-C is about infrequent bowel movements, stomach pain, bloating, hard or lumpy stools, discomfort, and straining during bowel movements.

Can probiotics make a difference?

The best possible option to deal with IBS is the regular use of probiotic food and supplements. Probiotics are live microbes that are consumed from fermented food and dairy items such as yogurt and cheese. Probiotics are excellent for helping with intestinal problems. These supplements restore bacterial balance in the gut and enhance the immune system.
