These are the signs that indicate that you have IBS:
Colicky or cramping pain is felt in the lower abdomen. This pain is usually relieved by defecation.
Present throughout the day
Patients sometimes present with predominantly diarrhea or predominately constipation or alternate between episodes of diarrhea and constipation.
Patients tend to pass infrequent pellety stools in association with abdominal pain or proctalgia.
Patients with diarrhea have frequent defecation-producing low-volume stool and no nocturnal symptoms. Stools are in the form of pellets or ribbon-like.
The passage of mucus is there but no rectal bleeding.
There are certain foods that start triggering symptoms of IBS. These include gas-producing foods, gluten, lactose, etc.
There is a frequent urge to urinate, sudden urges, or feeling like the bladder is not emptied completely.
Anxiety and IBS are often related and coexist.
Alteration in digestion often leads to more gas production in the gut and leads to the accumulation of gas in the abdomen.
