10 Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #2: Cramping
Another symptom that occurs commonly among patients suffering from IBS is abdominal cramping. Just like the pain, the cramping can occur in any area of the abdomen and can range from mild to severe.
Cramping can be a result of bloating or of stool that isn’t moving properly. One of the best ways to relieve cramping is to have a healthy bowel movement or to pass gas. In many patients, cramping can occur quite frequently but in others it is relatively infrequent.
