What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. Presence of mucus in the stool is another symptom of the irritable bowel syndrome. In this condition, the intestines squeeze either too hard or not hard enough to cause the food to move too quickly or too slowly through the intestines. IBS is a source of a lot of discomfort and distress for its patients. Some patients of irritable bowel syndrome also alternate between constipation and diarrhea. IBS is also known as the functional bowel syndrome, irritable colon, spastic bowel and spastic colon.

An person's emotional state and physical health are connected.  The way a person reacts to daily life situations and problems determines how healthy he remains. Undue stress and tension is harmful to health. An individual who remains generally anxious is highly prone to a number of physical ailments including heart troubles, stomach problems and other tension-related disorders. 

Treating IBS with relaxation 

If you have irritable bowel syndrome, your health care provider will initially enquire about your medical history, general dietary and lifestyle habits. The main causative factors of irritable bowel syndrome include diet related habits and stress. The digestive system of the human body reacts sharply to the presence of any elements of stress, anxiety or other such emotions. An individual in such a frame of mind is unable to digest food properly, thereby leading to several intestinal and bowel-related disorders.

Stress management is one of the main remedial measures that is prescribed by doctors for relief and cure from IBS. If an individual does not learn how to relax, physically and mentally, the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can be even more troublesome. Not only this, but the impact of prescribed medication is lessened when a person remains tense and anxious.
