Gas and Bloating

More gas is produced in the gut as a result of altered digestion in IBS. Uncomfortable bloating may result from this. One of the most annoying and chronic symptoms of IBS, according to many people with the condition, is bloating.

A study of 337 IBS patients found that 83% of them had cramping and bloating. Both signs and symptoms were more prevalent in women and in IBS with a constipation-predominant or mixed type. According to studies, people with IBS have difficulty getting rid of gas, which may be related to issues with the nerves and muscles in their gut. Because everyone experiences IBS differently, keeping a food diary may be helpful to identify the foods that make you feel sick. Once you know the problem foods, you can avoid them. These conditions can be reduced by avoiding lactose and other FODMAPs.
