Return To IBS Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Bowel Irritable? By Patsy Hamilton Is your bowel irritable? Nausea? Syndrome referred to as IBS could be the problem. Symptoms typically include pain in the abdominal, the bowel is irritable and a bowel movement relieves the pain. This syndrome is fairly common. Nausea is not often a symptom and you should have your symptoms evaluated by a physician, as other more serious conditions have similar symptoms. We have received questions about bowel irritable nausea syndrome and we must assume that these questions refer to irritable bowel syndrome, because there is no condition called bowel irritable nausea syndrome that we are aware of. In some cases we have seen reference to abdominal bowel irritable pain syndrome, but once again, we think that these are questions about IBS. Briefly here, we look at the most common symptoms of IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome signs and symptoms typically include abdominal (stomach) pain that is relieved by a bowel movement. Doctors also typically diagnose IBS when there is a change in the frequency of bowel movements, going more and less often than usual. Diarrhea, constipation or a combination of both may be present. The stool may be harder than usual or softer than usual and mucus may be present in the stool. People with IBS may have excessive gas and bloating or a feeling that the stomach is swollen. All of this may cause pain and discomfort. Stress and anxiety sometimes accompany irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. If you have been recently diagnosed with bowel irritable nausea syndrome or abdominal bowel irritable pain syndrome, you may need to contact your doctor for clarification. If you have not been diagnosed but have symptoms similar to those listed above for irritable bowel syndrome, then you should definitely contact your doctor, both to receive treatment advice and to rule out another more serious condition. Your doctor may prescribe medications, dietary changes and other forms of treatment.
