Irritable bowel syndrome affects your digestive system. It is a common but uncomfortable gastrointestinal condition. People with irritable bowel syndrome have excessive bloating, abdominal pain, and cramping. IBS is a type of functional gastrointestinal disease. These disorders, also called gut-brain interaction disorders, have to do with problems in the way the gut and brain work together. These problems make your digestive tract very sensitive. They also change the way the muscles of the gut contract. The result is abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.
