Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Symptoms, causes, and solutions -
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is characterized by functional intestinal disorders, with episodes of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, without obvious structural lesions.
How does it manifest itself?
Symptoms may include:
- recurrent abdominal pain
- disconfort
- bloating
- changes in bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation)
- feeling of incomplete evacuation
Causes and Mechanism
The mechanism involves intestinal hyperreactivity, changes in motility, and increased sensitivity to distension. Imbalances in gut flora can worsen symptoms and predispose to chronic discomfort.
Compounded treatments
Compounded treatments can relieve symptoms and support the recovery of intestinal flora:
- specific probiotics (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium)
- gentle antispasmodic agents: plant extracts (peppermint, lemon balm, fennel)
- soothing agents and intestinal emollients: mucoprotective gels
- oral vehicles adapted for adults or children
