10 Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #3: Constipation
Another condition that’s quite common when people struggle with IBS is constipation. This occurs when you cannot pass stool. It can build up in the bowels and lead to discomfort, pain, and cramping.
If constipation is left for a very long time, it can actually lead to a bowel obstruction. In this case, which is not terribly common, a person often requires hospitalization to help remove the stool from their bowels.
