“COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE”
Dr. said that irritable bowel syndrome is a health problem that can affect millions of people. Sarıkaya said, “Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic disorder related to the function of the intestines and is a common health problem that affects millions of people and can negatively affect the quality of life. IBS is characterized by alternating bowel movements, often accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both.
These symptoms may vary from person to person and may worsen periodically in some individuals. Imbalances in a healthy gut microbiota can trigger IBS symptoms. Conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression can increase IBS symptoms. The abnormal functioning of the intestinal muscles may cause discomfort. High-fat, low-fiber or irritating foods can trigger IBS. “The treatment and management process should be planned individually,” he said.
