What Is Gastrointestinal Disease?
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition where the patient is especially sensitive to certain foods and some other factors. It makes the patient more likely to suffer from symptoms like pain and diarrhea and the severity of the symptoms can be very uncomfortable. In some cases, irritable bowel syndrome can have a considerable negative impact on the patient’s life.
Treatment of the condition tends to involve having the patient avoiding certain types of food, but this is not always practical. Avoiding other triggers like stress can help but, again, this is something that can be difficult to do. Medication is also available that can help to at least lessen the severity of the symptoms.
