Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Erica Spruill

Can you provide a brief description of Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic and "invisible" illness that deals with the brain-gut communication. IBS affects your digestive system, which then causes severe stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and more. There are 3 categories associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. They are IBS-D (diarrhea), IBS-C (constipation), and IBS-M (a mixture of constipation and diarrhea).  I have IBS-M, which means I struggle with both constipation and diarrhea.
