What is the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a dysfunction of the bowel . People with IBS have extremely sensitive nerves and muscles in the bowel. Therefore the muscles in the bowel sometimes painfully cramp during food intake . That can result in diarrhea during or right after a meal. IBS does however not cause any damage to the bowel . It also does not cause worse diseases. In the U.S. approximately 15% of the adult population suffers from the symptoms of this intestinal disorder .
