Poetry for Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome | Remedies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)|

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal (GI) condition that causes recurrent attacks of abdominal pain or discomfort in association with bowel habits. This condition affects up to 5-10% of individuals worldwide and it can affect children and adults of both genders.

When to be concerned that it’s more than IBS?

There is a collection of symptoms that healthcare providers use to make sure something other than IBS is not causing symptoms. “Concerning” or “alarm” features include:

1. Blood in bowel movements – This blood can be bright red to black in color and may be in or around bowel movements.
2. Low blood counts (anemia) – This is determined by blood work or lab tests ordered by a healthcare provider.
3. New onset of symptoms over the age of 50.
4. Unintentional weight loss
5. Diarrhea that wakes you up from sleep at night.
