Symptoms
IBS symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, and mucus in stool. Most people experience either diarrhea (loose, watery stools) or constipation (difficulty having bowel movements). Some have alternating bouts of both diarrhea and constipation. Symptoms usually come in waves that may last a few minutes or a few days. Attacks of IBS seem closely related to stress and diet.

How Common
About 1 in every 5 people in the U.S. has symptoms of IBS.

Overview
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common condition that causes painful spasms and cramping in the large intestine (colon). IBS does not harm the intestines, and it does not increase the risk for cancer or for other serious stomach problems. Pain from IBS can be severe and is the main cause of stomach pain complaints in emergency rooms.

The best types of medication to take to reduce irritable bowel syndrome is to take anti-anxiety medication. By reducing the amount of anxiety that you receive on a daily basis, you will help your body reduce the amount of irritable bowel syndrome it experience.

The number one trigger of this symptom is anxiety, so if you can eliminate most of that then you should feel good about the way your body feels.
