Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive condition that affects how your gut works. It’s a chronic issue that can cause discomfort, changes in bowel habits, and bloating. While it doesn’t damage the intestines, it can greatly affect daily life and emotional well-being.

 

IBS symptoms can vary, but the most common include abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits—such as diarrhea, constipation, or a mix of both.

 

You may feel relief after a bowel movement. Symptoms often come and go, especially during times of stress or after certain meals.
