IMODIUM® for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Relief

Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS)

While the exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, we know it’s a case of sensitive bowels. For some people, IBS can be aggravated by stress or certain foods and, for some, the symptoms persist for years, which can mean years of frequent acute diarrhea.

Here are some common symptoms of IBS, which can vary from person to person :

  • Cramp-like abdominal pain
  • Fullness and bloating
  • Flatulence
  • Persistent constipation and/or diarrhea
  • Passing mucus as well as stools
  • Feeling like you haven’t completely emptied your bowels

Potential Causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS)

A number of factors can lead to bowel sensitivity. Here are some of the most common ones :

  • Stress. Many doctors agree that stress and anxiety can aggravate your natural digestive rhythm.
  • Illness. If you’ve ever had a severe gastrointestinal infection like dysentery in the past, you might continue to have bowel problems later.
  • Diet. A diet that’s low in fibre and high in fat can disrupt your bowels’ normal rhythm, while eating on the run can upset your bowels too.
  • Hormones. For women, menstruation and other hormonal changes can cause or aggravate IBS.
