IBS is an irritable digestive tract that causes an estimated 10 - 15% of people worldwide stomach pain or discomfort AT LEAST 3 TIMES a month. Symptoms of IBS vary widely but generally, they include:
Constipation or Diarrhea
Hard, dry stools or loose, watery stools
Bloating or Cramps (likely due to gas-producing microbes)
The cause of IBS is unknown BUT we do know that stress is a trigger and changes to your diet — like avoiding common allergens and adding fiber & probiotics— can help with symptoms.
