Did you know that 10 to 15 percent of Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Many more also meet the criteria of the diagnosis but have not been formally diagnosed.
IBS is a chronic condition characterized by abdominal pain/discomfort and altered bowel habits, mainly diarrhea, constipation or alternating episodes of both. Other symptoms may include bloating, feelings of fullness, urgency to use the restroom, and feelings of incomplete evacuation of stool. The symptoms are often relieved by having a bowel movement and made worse by eating.
