Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a painful gastrointestinal disorder of unmet medical need with a prevalence of about 5 percent to 10 percent in the general population. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating and constipation or diarrhea. In particular the pain aspects of gastrointestinal diseases such as IBS are not adequately addressed by current therapies and severe cases may require hospital care.

No one knows exactly what causes irritable bowel syndrome. The walls of the intestines are lined with layers of muscle that contract and relax as they move food from your stomach through your intestinal tract to your rectum. Normally, these muscles contract and relax in a coordinated rhythm. But if you have irritable bowel syndrome, the contractions are stronger and last longer than normal. Food is forced through your intestines more quickly, causing gas, bloating and diarrhea. In some cases... the opposite occurs.

In irritable bowel syndrome sufferers, the rhythm of the digestive tract can be more rapid and less regular in comparison to non-IBS persons. As a result, the movement of stool and gas through the colon is affected, leading to constipation, diarrhea, or both. A number of factors can be responsible for triggering IBS flare-ups such as specific foods, allergies, diet, and stress.

Insoluble fiber is “roughâ€; it does not dissolve in water, so it passes intact through the intestinal tract, increasing the frequency, water content, and looseness of bowel movements. In comparison, soluble fiber is “smooth,†and is soothing to the digestive tract. It absorbs excess water in the colon, pushes through impacted fecal matter, and regulates intestinal contractions. In this way it helps to prevent the painful spasms, and relieves both the diarrhea and constipation of IBS. Foods that are naturally high in soluble fiber include oatmeal, pasta, rice, potatoes, soy, barley, nuts, beans, and oat bran. Though insoluble fiber is very beneficial to your overall good health, it must be introduced carefully, as it can ... trigger severe attacks of pain and diarrhea in IBS sufferers.
