Causes Of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

There are many theories regarding the cause of irritable bowel syndrome. Most of the theories focus on the large intestine being sensitive to several kind of foods which the person eats. Stress also plays a role in this disorder. Another possible cause of irritable bowel syndrome could be that the individual who suffers from this disorder does not have the normal motility or movement as other people. This makes your colon sensitive to different kinds or foods that can trigger a reaction. Other theories include sensitivity to gluten, abnormal reaction of the colon to serotonin and bacterial infection that may have triggered irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.
