10 Causes of Stomach Cramps
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #8: IBS
IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, affects millions of people worldwide. While most of us can have adverse reactions to some types of food, people with IBS are likely to have bad reactions to a much wider range of food. It can lead to various unwanted symptoms such as gas, bloating, and cramping.
While people will often find their symptoms subside after bowel movements, IBS can still be very uncomfortable. If the symptoms are severe then you may be able to speak to a doctor about prescribing something that can help. It is often necessary to stick to a strict diet to avoid having irritating foods in your diet.
