WHAT IS IBS?
IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome - is the name doctors have given
to a collection of otherwise unexplained symptoms relating to a
disturbance of the large bowel. These may include:
-
crampy abdominal pain, often relieved by defecation
- an alteration in bowel habit (diarrhoea, constipation or alternating
diarrhoea and constipation)
- bloating and swelling of the abdomen
- rumbling noises and excessive passage of wind
-
urgency – a need to rush to the toilet and incontinence
(if a toilet is not nearby)
- a sharp pain felt low down inside the rectum
- sensation of incomplete bowel movement.
According to the most recent criteria, set out by an international
panel of specialists, a diagnosis of IBS can
only be made if you have frequent abdominal discomfort that
is either relieved
by going
to the loo or associated with changes in the
frequency or form of stool (a tendency to diarrhea or constipation).
The diagnosis
is supported if you experience difficulty passing
motions, you pass mucus, or you have bloating and feelings of abdominal
distension. IBS is a condition that can start at any time,
but frequently begins in early adulthood and comes and goes over the
course of many years.
What causes IBS? Many specific causes have been suggested.
They include Candida or yeast infection, fluoride
toxicity, mercury
poisoning and many, many others, but there
is no convincing evidence to support any of these possibilities.
In
recent years, research
in IBS has concentrated on factors that might
make the gut more sensitive. These include food allergy, inflammation
and stress.
