Understanding IBS
IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder that primarily affects the large intestine. It affects about 15% of the population, with women being affected more often than men. Unlike irritable bowel disease (IBD), IBS is a functional disorder with no visible inflammation or damage to the GI tract. Symptoms include bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of these issues.
