| description | Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not a disease. It is a group of symptoms that occur together, symptoms as: chronic or recurrent abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, and bloating, with the absence of structural or biochemical abnormalities. Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal disorder. The causes of IBS are poorly understood. Limited information is available about the number of children with IBS. IBS affects boys and girls equally, but affects each person differently. IBS can be very difficult to diagnose. IBS is diagnosed by exclusion. To diagnose IBS, a health care provider will conduct a physical exam and take a complete medical history. The main objective of treatment for IBS is to restore normal daily function. Diet and lifestyle changes are important in decreasing the frequency and severity of IBS symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome is a long-term disease and symptoms usually recur. This may be influenced by factors such as stress, diet or other environmental causes. Avoiding triggers is the best way to prevent symptoms of IBS. However, based on the symptoms, this disease can be confused with other organic bowel diseases. |
