Hemorrhoids and Ibs

Hemorrhoids and Ibs are very much connected because of the nature of ibs. By the way ibs stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as Irritable Bowel Disease, or Irritable Colon.

So what happens with ibs.

As the words tell you, your bowels are irritated. This results in the bowels being one moment very constipated and the next one being very loose like diarrhea.

This usually manifests itself in three different ways. In some instances people might experience one normal bowel movement followed by a constipated one repeatedly.

While others might experience a normal bowel movement followed by a diarrhea one repeatedly. Lastly some individuals might suffer from constipation and diarrhea bowel movements alternatively.

This pattern may repeat itself over and over. These bowels may be accompanied by abdominal cramps, bloating, mucus in the stools, nausea, and a sensation of always wanting to empty the bowels.

It is quiet a popular ailment and there is no real known cause for it. Some theory state that it is due to a change in routine or stress that brings it on. I personally believe that it is food that causes this and nothing else.

The good old saying "what you eat is what you are" most certainly applies here.

This is the "perfect conditions" to cause you hemorrhoids.

From this you can see the Hemorrhoids ibs connection.

It is therefore crucial that you cure your ibs problem to be able to cure or avoid hemorrhoids.
