DIGESTIVE DISORDER

IBS is a widespread functional disorder with a wide range of symptoms
Your digestion is your center and core. Imbalances in this area can affect all aspects of your life. The most common problem is the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which is a chronic and debilitating gastrointestinal disorder. IBS can be classified as functional disease, which means that the course of disease is marked by a wide range of symptoms across systems and a partial connection to emotions.

About 14 percent of the U.S. Population and up to 22 percent of people in the UK are afflicted by the digestive disorder. Women are 2-3 times more likely to develop IBS, and often suffer more symptoms during their periods.

Usually they suffer from abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, frequent diarrhea or constipation, bowel inflammation and stomach ulcers. People with IBS are often afflicted with symptoms that seem unrelated to digestion, like the chronic fatigue syndrome, headache, backache, genitourinary symptoms and emotional symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
