Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a condition in which feces are discharged from the bowels frequently and in a liquid form. It is the result of increased secretion of fluid into the intestine, reduced absorption of fluid from the intestine or rapid passage of stool through the intestine.

Diarrhea is commonly caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can cause chronic diarrhea.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome, a.k.a. IBS or spastic colon, is a type of gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine (colon).

Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, food intolerance, diarrhea, constipation and altered bowel habits.

IBS is a chronicle condition. The exact cause of it is unknown and may be due to multiple factors. Most people with IBS do not have very severe symptoms and the symptoms are usually relieved by passing a bowel movement.
