Most people will have experienced a flashback. Some people look for the toilet after eating. This disease develops as diarrhea or constipation with a feeling of cramping or mild abdominal pain, relieved only by eating and defecating. No need to worry if this happens once in a while. If the need to go to the toilet immediately, no matter how many times a day you eat, continues for several days, this problem could also be… ‘Irritable Bowel Syndrome’ (IBS).
They say that 15 percent of the total population is affected by this problem. Some people reduce the severity of this problem by living as prescribed by the doctor such as diet and exercise. Even if this problem has been present for months or years, it does not suddenly cause major problems, so most people get used to living with this condition without consulting a doctor.
As long as you live in a stress-free environment, it won’t have any major effects. But when you get stuck in stressful situations like work load, personal problems etc. This pain can turn into a life-altering problem that paralyzes you from going anywhere else, including the workplace, at home, and even from doing daily tasks.
Why does IPS come about?
This problem is caused by changes or disruptions in the smooth movement of the stomach, colon and small intestines. IBS-D causes diarrhea when the muscles in the stomach work too fast, and IBS-C causes constipation when they work less than normal. Infections in the digestive tract, disturbances in the relationship between the brain and the digestive tract, stress and anxiety can also cause this effect.
Irritable bowel syndrome symptoms
Abdominal pain, flatulence, feeling of having to pass stool after eating, diarrhoea, constipation, some people have constipation for a few days and then diarrhea for a few days.
Those who should be cautious
* Irritable Bowel Syndrome is just a non-dangerous nuisance. People with the following conditions should seek medical advice urgently… Getting medical advice early can prevent major damage.
* People over 50 years of age with new-onset IBS-type bowel disorders.
* People who lose weight automatically without engaging in weight loss.
* People who have the problem of mixing blood while defecating.
* People with diarrhea and pain that disturb sleep.
* People with bowel cancer…especially close family relatives of those affected before the age of 50.
* Anemic people.
Fiber and antidiarrheal medications
Fiber and medicines are prescribed according to the condition of the victim. A sudden increase in dietary fiber can also be harmful. So, you can avoid this effect by increasing fiber intake little by little. Medicines for constipation and diarrhea problems are also prescribed.
Prebiotics
‘Prebiotics’ are non-digestible foods. Rich in complex carbohydrates, whole grains, watery potatoes, onions, and bananas promote good gut bacteria. Both probiotics and prebiotics together can provide a good solution to the problem of constipation.
Antibiotics
IBS can be caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine or by certain bacteria. Antibiotics are prescribed for those with such problems. This will control excessive bacterial growth.
Exercise
Cycling, jogging etc. can significantly reduce the problem of IBS. It dissolves fat and makes the abdominal muscles work better, expels gases smoothly through the digestive tract and protects the stomach. Studies show that increasing exercise time from 20 to 60 minutes daily, three to five times per week, produces significant health changes.
Probiotics
Probiotics support the balanced functioning of the gut flora by increasing the production of natural, good bacteria. Most of the research is on how to address this problem through non-dietary probiotic supplements. Studies show that probiotic supplements are good for stomach pain and intestinal problems.
Focus on food
Include more fiber in the diet. Spicy spices should be avoided. Avoid processed foods and junk foods. Include whole grains, vegetables and fruits. It is better to avoid drinking tea and coffee or reduce it as much as possible.
We should pay attention to the signs of our body. We have to carefully observe and record the food we eat and its effects. If we do this, we can quickly identify what is good and what is bad for our body and get rid of this problem by avoiding harmful things.
Metformin should be stopped if symptoms of IBS appear after starting to take Metformin, a drug prescribed for allergic IBS diabetes. Thus, the problem of IBS will also be cured. Lactose intolerance (Lactose intolerance) is an allergy to dairy products, fruits (fructose), and wheat (gluten) if there is cerium in the food, if you avoid those foods, the symptoms will disappear.
A bacterial infection in the small intestine called ‘Giardia’ can cause ibis-like symptoms for years. This can be corrected by taking appropriate medicines. Pancreatic insufficiency and gallbladder removal can also cause IBS. These can be corrected with proper treatment.
