Abdominal Pain
Stomach pain is a symptom that many people experience, but for those with IBS, the pain can be recurring and sometimes challenging to manage. Pain is a component considered to always be present in the diagnosis of IBS. However, not everyone with IBS experiences stomach pain; many instead feel a kind of discomfort in the stomach.
Diagnosis
The symptoms of IBS are entirely harmless but very uncomfortable to live with as they often impact daily life. Life with IBS can also vary depending on the symptoms one experiences. Some may have mild gas issues, while others may find it challenging to leave their homes. The average time for an IBS diagnosis is seven years.
Symptoms
So what are our most common symptoms of IBS really? IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) affects 15-20% of the world’s population. About 70% of those affected are women, but the disease also affects men and children.
