Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional disorder of the digestive system in which the intestine becomes more sensitive and its functioning changes, without any visible damage to its structure.
Common symptoms: abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, gas, and changes in the rhythm of bowel movements, which can alternate between diarrhea and constipation.
Common causes: it is usually related to the way the intestine and the nervous system interact, and factors such as stress or certain foods often play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who assesses these symptoms and rules out other causes; the nutritionist can help with the management of diet. If the digestive discomfort is recurrent, discussing it with a professional helps to understand it better.
