3) Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the stomach and intestines, also called the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you'll need to manage long term.

What are the 4 stages of IBS?

There are four subcategories of IBS, each with equal prevalence:

• Mostly diarrhea and abdominal discomfort (IBS-D).
• Mostly constipation and abdominal discomfort (IBS-C).
• Alternating loose stools and constipation with abdominal discomfort (IBS-mixed).
• Undefined subtype (IBS-U) — symptoms vary.

 

At what age does IBS usually begin?

• IBS can occur at any age. Often, it begins in the teen years or early adulthood. It is twice as common in women as in men. It is less likely to begin in older people above 50 years of age.

 

Only a small number of people with IBS have severe symptoms. Some people can control their symptoms by managing diet, lifestyle and stress. More-severe symptoms can be treated with medication and counseling.

IBS doesn't cause changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer.

# Symptoms

Symptoms of IBS vary but are usually present for a long time. The most common include:

• Abdominal pain, cramping or bloating that is related to passing a bowel movement
• Changes in appearance of bowel movement
• Changes in how often you are having a bowel movement

Other symptoms that are often related include sensation of incomplete evacuation and increased gas or mucus in the stool.

See your health care provider if you have a persistent change in bowel habits or other symptoms of IBS. They may indicate a more serious condition, such as colon cancer. More-serious symptoms include:

• Weight loss
• Diarrhea at night
• Rectal bleeding
• Iron deficiency anemia
• Unexplained vomiting
• Pain that isn't relieved by passing gas or a bowel movement

 

Causes

The exact cause of IBS isn't known. Factors that appear to play a role include:

Muscle contractions in the intestine. The walls of the intestines are lined with layers of muscle that contract as they move food through your digestive tract. Contractions that are stronger and last longer than usual can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea. Weak contractions can slow food passage and lead to hard, dry stools.

DRSOUS.CA Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that supports the growth and development of bones and teeth. It also plays an essential role in the functioning of the muscles and boosting energy levels in the body. 

The body naturally produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and you can also receive Vitamin D from some foods like oily fish. In the winter months, especially in colder regions, the body doesn’t produce as much Vitamin D, which can lead to what's called ‘seasonal depression.’
