Irritable Bowel Syndrome: What is it?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects the large intestine, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, bloating, gas, and cramping. Its exact cause is unknown, but factors like abnormal muscle contractions, nerve issues, inflammation, and gut microbiome changes may contribute. IBS is chronic but doesn't cause permanent damage or serious diseases like cancer. Management includes dietary changes, stress management, and medication for symptom relief. #irritablebowelsyndromeawarenessmonth #IBSawareness #GutHealth #WellnessJourney
