Causes & Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBS is not known, but a mix of gut sensitivity, lifestyle, and stress factors play an important role. Here are few common causes and risk enhancers.
Abnormal Gut Muscle Movements
Irregular contractions of the intestine can cause cramping, diarrhea, or constipation.
Stress and Mental Health
Anxiety, stress, and emotional triggers often worsen IBS symptoms and flare-ups.
Increased Gut Sensitivity
Some people experience stronger pain responses in the digestive tract due to nerve sensitivity.
Diet and Lifestyle Factors
Processed foods, irregular meals, caffeine, and lack of sleep may contribute to IBS.
Treatment Options We Provide
Treatment for IBS focuses on managing symptoms, preventing flare-ups, and improving overall quality of life. Since triggers vary, a personalized plan works best.
Dietary Modifications
Identifying and avoiding trigger foods, increasing fiber intake, and following specialized diets like the low-FODMAP plan can significantly reduce bloating and bowel problems.
Medications for Symptom Control
Antispasmodics help relieve cramping, laxatives may ease constipation, while antidiarrheal drugs control loose stools. Probiotics may also improve gut balance.
