Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder that affects the large intestine. It is a chronic condition that can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and gas.

IBS does not cause permanent damage to the intestines, but it can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but it is often linked to factors such as stress, diet, gut microbiome imbalances, and heightened gut sensitivity.

While there is no definitive cure for IBS, effective management through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and stress management can help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
