Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a very common functional disorder of the gastrointestinal system. Irritable bowel syndrome is thought to be due to changes in the way the gut functions, but is not associated with any observable structural changes to the gut. It is a disorder that comes and goes.

Nerves that control the muscles in the functional gastrointestinal tract are too active. The functional gastrointestinal tract becomes sensitive to food, stool, gas, and stress. This causes abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation or diarrhea.

The Irritable bowel syndrome is also called spastic colon or mucous colitis.
