For IBS
IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive problem that affects a large percentage of the population with many instances going undiagnosed. According to Bupa about 1 in 6 people are affected occasionally by IBS symptoms and women are more likely to be affected than men.
The first step is identifying whether or not you have IBS is to get a qualified diagnosis. Although there are many tell-tale symptoms not all of these mean you have IBS. Most people with IBS find their symptoms an occasional nuisance but don’t ever need to see a Doctor. For people with chronic IBS the pain ranges from mild to severe but is easily diagnosed by a qualified practitioner. Typical IBS symptoms are excess wind, feeling sick, indigestion, backache, tiredness, fullness and bladder problems there could be other related symptoms but these are the most common.
