IBS is the most common of all digestive disorders, affecting about one in five adults in North America. It is the leading cause of chronic, recurrent abdominal pain, and linked to unexpected bouts of diarrhea, belching, excessive gas, and intermittent or chronic constipation.
The majority of the population can eat and drink as they please without abdominal pain and altered bowel movements. People with IBS are sensitive to various triggers that the average person tolerates without difficulty. The good news is - marked improvement is possible!
