IBS From Abnormal Nerve Functioning

Unfortunately, though, if you are stressed, anxious, or depressed your nerves may work abnormally. They fail to work properly and may send an unnecessary signal. Several unnecessary signals will cause diarrhea. If the nerves just do not send a signal at all then constipation may occur. Any signal change will cause changes in your digestive system.

IBS symptoms are mainly two, diarrhea and constipation. These two symptoms are produced by nerves that work abnormally. The severity of these IBS symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, but the cause of the symptoms is much the same.

What is IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a functional disorder involving the intestines, specifically the large intestine. People with IBS seem to have a disturbance in how the brain, the intestines, and the nervous system communicate. What that means is that somehow or the other, the bowels just do not seem to work the way they should.

IBS sufferers often experience a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pains, stomach cramps, bloating, loose or frequent bowel movements (diarrhea), and/or constipation.

The causes of IBS are poorly understood and remain unidentified, but for the most part we do know what makes IBS worse. For example, we know that IBS symptoms tend to be exacerbated by stress and diet. A few lifestyle changes in these departments will go a long way in alleviating the symptoms involved.
