Generally accepted as due to abnormal functioning or communication between the nervous system and bowel muscles. The muscles in the bowel wall may lose their coordination, contracting too much or too little at certain times.It is not caused by stress or anxiety and is not a mental health disorder. However, emotional stress may be a factor in the onset of IBS episodes.No single test can confirm IBS. No single medication exists. For some anti-spasmodic medications work and for some low doses of antidepressants. Surgery is not an option for IBS.For some people low FODMAP diets get some relief. (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly.)Low FODMAP Diet - FODMAP Foods[ATTACH=full]200631[/ATTACH]Also regular exercise, good sleep habits , Probiotics, stress reduction could help.</blockquote>
