What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome & How Can It be Treated Naturally?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a “functional” disorder and long-term condition of the digestive system. Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. The exact cause of IBS is still not certain. IBS may stem from a problem with the nerves that control the bowels. These nerves tell the bowels how fast to remove the waste.
Research has shown that the neurotransmitter serotonin may be important in the symptoms of IBS, by altering the function of nerve cells in the bowel and causing changes in pain sensation and bowel function.
