Abdominal pain, cramps, constipation or diarrhea – quite usual and common symptoms, aren’t they? There is hardly a person in the whole world, who had never experienced such symptoms. Often we do not even consider them to be a sign of real health disorder; and, telling the truth, in most cases such symptoms are nothing more than symptoms, signaling that there was something wrong with the yogurt at breakfast or that the digestive tract did like experiments with the exotic meals in a new restaurant.
However, there are about 20 % of population that suffer from the mentioned digestive symptoms more often than other people; and their symptoms are more severe, sometimes even interfering into the normal pace of life and work.

It is true that IBS cannot be cured once and forever; however, doctors can usually recommend a number of options to control the disorder and reduce symptoms frequency and severity.
