Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, which means that it affects the mobility of the gastrointestinal tract.
We are not entirely sure what causes IBS, but we do know that the enteric nervous system is involved, and it does create the gut to be hypersensitive to certain food triggers and to stress.
If you think you have IBS, or you feel like you are exerting certain symptoms of it, you should visit your local medical doctor. If you want more help gaining control over your symptoms of IBS, visit your local registered dietitian.
