Although the etiology of IBS is still not fully understood, it is believed that populations of enteric microflora, the bacteria in your gut, may play a fundamental role in the presentation of the disorder.
Thank you for your comment. I have had my IBS under control ever since I stopped drinking soda and limiting the high-fat greasy foods. Of course stress is factored in along with the bloating, stomachaches, diarrhea and constipation.
The absolute change for me was limiting what I drank and ate. I am still very cautious about what I eat and drink. I will admit I like a soda now and then, but I limit how much I drink.
Thank you,
Viv

IBS can persist for many years. An episode may be milder or more severe than the one before it. One good bit of information, the disorder itself usually does not worsen over time. It does not lead to more serious diseases such as cancer.
Stress management, diet changes and, in some cases, medications are helpful in managing the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
I hope and pray that this information has helped someone today.
