There are chances that you can be diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) if you have symptoms like:
• Excessive gas: People with IBS may experience the problem of excessive gas. This is because IBS causes problems with the bacteria in the gut. It creates certain toxins and causes excessive gas.
• Pain and cramps: Experiencing cramps and pain in the lower abdomen are two of the main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Oversensitivity of the gut is a possible cause of these symptoms. IBS affects how the gut and brain work together; it may cause the muscles in the gut to contract more than required for a normal bowel movement.
• Bloating: Feeling bloated is another symptom of IBS. Bloating refers to the collection of gas in the gut, which can cause the abdomen to be fuller and appear rounder than usual. The same factors that cause excessive gas in IBS can also cause bloating.
• Diarrhea: Diarrhea is a key symptom of IBS. It happens because the muscles in the gut contract more than required. Diarrhea can be accompanied by a feeling of muscle cramps.
• Fatigue: Lack of energy or feeling fatigued is another common symptom of IBS. Fatigue may occur alongside other IBS symptoms which include psychological distress and bowel-related symptoms.
• Feeling stressed: The physical symptoms of IBS can cause psychological distress. And feeling stressed or having anxiety can worsen IBS symptoms.
• Brain fog: Symptoms like bloating and intestinal gas are also linked with brain fog. Brain fog or foggy thinking refers to trouble while concentrating, mental confusion and impaired judgment.
If these symptoms are affecting your physical and mental health, we suggest you to go for irritable bowel syndrome treatment.
