Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gut disorder that affects the large intestine. Unlike inflammatory bowel diseases, IBS doesn’t cause structural damage but significantly impacts digestive function.
IBS-M (Mixed type)
✔ Bloating and excessive gas
✔ Urgency or incomplete bowel movements
Diagnosing IBS
Doctors use the Rome IV Criteria (symptom-based diagnosis) after ruling out other conditions through:
✓ Medical history review
✓ Physical examination
✓ Basic blood/stool tests (when needed)
Consult a gastroenterologist if you experience:
⚠ Unexplained weight loss
⚠ Rectal bleeding
⚠ Persistent pain at night
⚠ Family history of IBD/celiac disease
“While IBS can’t be cured, most patients achieve significant symptom relief through personalized diet, stress management, and targeted medications.”
