What is IBS: Understanding the gut–brain connection, diet, and lifestyle strategies for long-term digestive balance.
What Is IBS?
IBS is a functional gastrointestinal condition, meaning the digestive tract may appear structurally normal, but its function becomes disrupted.
Common symptoms include:
• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Bloating and gas
• Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating patterns
• Food sensitivities
• A feeling of incomplete bowel movements
Symptoms can vary widely from person to person and may fluctuate depending on diet, stress levels, sleep, and lifestyle habits.
