Therefore, it is important to consider several aspects of IBS symptoms and how to treat it.

Gas Production

Bloating

Bloating is an important symptom of IBS and occurs in approximately 30 percent of adults. Typically, the process of bloating occur throughout the day to cause discomfort when the sufferer goes to sleep.

Tests have shown that although individuals who suffer from bloating do not actually produce more gas than normal people, they can increase abdominal dimensions 3-4 cm in the daytime. In women, bloating may become worse during menstruation.

Research also shows that the sufferer is unable to control the contents of his intestines as efficiently as those who do not suffer from bloating. Various mechanisms contributed to the gas trapped in the intestines, which then causes stomach sebah.
