Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional digestive disorder that affects the large intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or a combination of both. It is often triggered by stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, or gut sensitivity, and does not cause structural damage to the intestines. While IBS is a chronic condition, it can be effectively managed through dietary adjustments, stress management, lifestyle changes, and appropriate medical or supportive care to improve digestive comfort and quality of life.
