Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort associated with altered bowel habits in the absence of structural or major inflammatory abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of&nbsp;IBD&nbsp;include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ulcerative colitis<strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;This condition involves inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the superficial lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.<\/li><li>Crohn&#8217;s disease:&nbsp;This type of&nbsp;IBD&nbsp;is characterized by inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract, which often can involve the deeper layers of the digestive tract.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9342944334127739\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9342944334127739\" data-ad-slot=\"9438483114\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment for IBD: Inflammation of the tissues can lead to severe consequences, therefore the goal of treatment is to reduce the inflammation and achieve remission. Some medications used include&nbsp;anti-inflammatories such as corticosteroids and aminosalicylates, such as mesalamine (Asacol HD, Delzicol, others), balsalazide (Colazal) and olsalazine (Dipentum). Antibiotics may also be required if infection is a concern due to possibility of bowel perforation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of IBS have been described as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>IBS with constipation (IBS-C) has a 28 percent prevalence in the U.S.<\/li><li>IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) has a 26 percent prevalence in the U.S.<\/li><li>IBS with a mixed bowel pattern (IBS-M) has a 44 percent prevalence in the U.S.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment for IBS: The focus is on alleviating symptoms. Because caffeine intake stimulates gut motility, reducing caffeine intake is often recommended. A low-fat diet, as fatty foods may cause painful contractions in patients with IBS. Diets low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) may be appropriate for patients with IBS. Wheat, onions, some fruits and vegetables, sorbitol, and some dairy products are some of the foods that contain FODMAPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"394\" data-src=\"https:\/\/3.224.65.35\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Jim1-e1593109749582.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-821 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px;
