Do you think you might be feeling an IBS Symptom? This chronic illness is the cause of a great deal of stress, pain, and often embarrassment, so it's important to be able to recognize an IBS Symptom when you experience one.
And because many people fearfully self-diagnose their IBS Symptom as being caused by something far more serious, such as colon cancer, learning to recognize and identify an IBS Symptom can put your mind at rest!
The most common IBS Symptoms are abdominal gas, bloating and cramping, which range from mild, to very painful and debilitating. A few other common ones are nausea and vomiting after eating, mucus in the stools and constipation or diarrhoea, usually in phases, one after the other.
These indicators may last for a month, or could stretch to a year, or a couple of years depending on the presence of triggers in your immediate environment, and whether or not you make appropriate changes to your diet and exercise regime.
The good news is that this illness isn't serious, and with changes to lifestyle and diet, your intestinal tract will heal. The condition doesn't come from any organic cause, and won't lead to illnesses such as Crohn's Disease, ulcers, or bowel cancer. However, If you have been experiencing problems like blood in the stool, rapid weight loss, fever, constant pain or vomiting bile, these might indicate a much more serious condition and you should get to the hospital immediately.
