What Are Colon Spasms?
Colon spasms or spastic colon are involuntary and often quite painful contractions of the lower digestive tract. They are most commonly associated with a disorder known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Although there is no known definitive cause of colon spasms, some of the most common factors include diet, stress or anxiety, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol, all of which can negatively impact on the human digestive system.
