Briefly here, we look at the most common symptoms of IBS.

Irritable bowel syndrome signs and symptoms typically include abdominal (stomach) pain that is relieved by a bowel movement. Doctors also typically diagnose IBS when there is a change in the frequency of bowel movements, going more and less often than usual. Diarrhea, constipation or a combination of both may be present. The stool may be harder than usual or softer than usual and mucus may be present in the stool. People with IBS may have excessive gas and bloating or a feeling that the stomach is swollen. All of this may cause pain and discomfort. Stress and anxiety sometimes accompany irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

If you have been recently diagnosed with bowel irritable nausea syndrome or abdominal bowel irritable pain syndrome, you may need to contact your doctor for clarification.

Your doctor may prescribe medications, dietary changes and other forms of treatment.
