It is estimated that 20% of the population suffer from IBS, but nobody really knows because most suffer in silence as they are too embarrassed to come forward for help. Relationships can break down because people become preoccupied with their condition and unable to join in with family and are hopeless about their situation that they believe there can be no cure. What causes irritable bowel syndrome? No one knows exactly what causes IBS. Some researchers think IBS is caused by changes in the nerves that control sensation or muscle contractions in the bowel. Others believe the central nervous system may affect the colon. And because women are two to three times more likely than men to have IBS, researchers believe that hormonal changes also play a role. For many women, symptoms are worse during or around their menstrual periods. IBS triggers can range from certain foods, medications or emotions. e.g. Chocolate, milk and alcohol might cause constipation or diarrhoea. And the least bit of stress might send your colon into spasms.
