How can the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome be reduced?

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the common diseases in the world, and the proportion of people with this syndrome ranges from 10-20% globally. The patient suffers from severe abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in defecation such as constipation or diarrhea, as a result of mutual nervous signals that occur between the brain and the intestines.

Lead to an imbalance in the movement of the intestinal muscles. The condition occurs or intensifies after eating some foods, physical or psychological stress, hormonal changes, and some antibiotics. The patient is surprised by a bout of pain in the abdominal area with constipation or diarrhea, flatulence, and sometimes a feeling of not emptying the intestines completely.
