Irritable bowel disorder can be disruptive to your daily life because it strikes anytime after you have eaten a particularly irritating meal or food. The effects can include constantly visiting of the restroom and also some discomfort and pain in the abdominal area.

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.

Manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome include chronic diarrhea and pain in the abdomen associated with the movement of the bowel. Most of the time, the pain and discomfort in the abdomen can be relieved by bowel movement. Other signs of irritable bowel syndrome disorder are a swollen stomach, whitish mucus in the feces, the feeling that you are not yet done with your bowel movement and sometimes, constipation.
