How does IBS show itself? What symptoms appear with Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
The individual symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are not very characteristic, however, when looked at collectively they build an almost typical disease picture. In the foreground is a constant alternation between stomach aches and stomach cramps, irregular bowel movements, flatulence, as well as the feeling as if the stomach is severely blown up and taut. Pain can occur in different locations of the stomach and are often hard to locate. Even the bowel movement itself is often painful. Many affected people have the feeling incomplete evacuation. Frequently the stomach pains do get better after a bowel movement. Constipation and diarrhea appear in alternation, and very often there is a mixture of slime in the stool.
