Irritable Bowel Syndrome: What is IBS? 2

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a collection of symptoms related to the gut. It is a chronic condition. We are told it is functional. In other words there is no abnormality on examination or on further investigations.

The symptoms that you have with Irritable Bowel Syndrome develop even though there is no specific disease process in the large gut.
If you ask the question, “What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?” you are likely to be told that it a common gastro-intestinal condition with no specific cause and there is no cure. The symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, bloating and mucus in stools.

If tests show any real abnormality, then the diagnosis is not Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is a chronic condition. In other words it goes on and on. Go to a forum on line and you will read posts from people who have Irritable Bowel Syndrome for twenty or thirty years.
The global figure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome is as high as 20%. The true figure for various reasons is not known. A large percent do not see a doctor until they have very troublesome symptoms. Others avoid a doctor’s visit through embarrassment or expected intrusive tests. Some do not come forwards for religious reasons and in some countries frequent bowel movement are not unacceptable.

If you ask the question “What is IBS?” you are likely to get a reasonably accurate answer but if you ask “What is the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome?” the answers you get will disappoint you.
Sadly this is the conundrum called Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
