What are the Symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)?
Symptoms of IBS in general include diarrhea, constipation and frequent bowel movements. Symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may be affected more severely than others. If these symptoms are prevalent for more than 4-6 weeks, it may be indicative of more than just food poisoning. Other symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome may include
Cramping and abdominal Pain
Bloated, gassy feeling. Often accompanied with flatulence
Mucus in the stool
Rapid weight loss
Rectal Bleeding (In extreme cases)
Although conditions vary from one individual to another, the most common indicative sign is frequent bowel movements, which are often triggered by stress or tension. Also, one may not have the satiety of having an empty bowel, even after going to the bathroom. Movements are chunky or broken, and in many cases could be indicative of poor digestion of food.
