Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are two distinct gastrointestinal disorders, eventhough the differences between the them can be confusing for many people.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
IBS is also known as spastic colon, irritable colon, mucous colitis, and spastic colitis. IBS is a group of intestinal symptoms that typically occur together. The symptoms last at least three months for at least three days per month.
The risk of developing IBS was double for person with anxiety and depression.
IBS pain may feel like cramping. With this cramping, you will also have at least two of the following experiences:
- some relief of pain after a bowel movement
- a change in how often you have a bowel movement
- changes in the way your stools look
There is no cure for IBS. Treatment is aimed at symptom relief.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
IBD is a term for two conditions (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Very informative and it compresses most of the information needed.
ReplyDeleteThe only cure for Arthritis, Paralysis and Stroke is natural roots and herbs.
I contacted Nze Njoku Herbal Home for my father who suffered paralysis for 6years.
My father took this herbal medicine from Nze Njoku Herbal Home accordingly, which healed him of paralysis within 4weeks and he have been doing great on his feet ever since then as if nothing happened to him.
