Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Overcoming irritable bowel syndrome!

IBS can be very frustrating to live with and can have a massive impact on our everyday life. It is however a common condition that affects the digestive system and causes symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. These tend to come and go over time, and can last for days, weeks or months at a time.

The exact cause of IBS is unknown although it has been linked to things like food passing through your gut too quickly or too slowly, oversensitive nerves in your gut, stress and a family history of IBS.
