How To Win Your War Against Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome + Neuroendocrine IBS is a disorder due to which patients find changes in bowel habits which may vary from mild to severe conditions. There are no specifically known causes behind IBS because chronic diseases which do not cause risk to life, are not given high priority. This disorder is largely associated with the malfunctioning of the large intestine, commonly called the colon. Hence, the symptoms are based on this region, and are taken as functional disorders. This simply means that the conditions are not produced by a significant physical problem, but are initiated by the improper functioning of the intestine arising due to stress, strain and negative reactions shown towards food and other substances. Research studies reveal that IBS symptoms arise after gastroenteritis symptoms subside. Thus, there is possibility of finding internal physical damage on the walls of the intestine, which explains the occurrence of these symptoms in the body. The neuroendocrine system refers to the working combination of the endocrine system coupled with the nervous system, which are effectively covered and controlled by the central nervous system. As IBS is directly related to stress factor, researches are being conducted to discover the relation between the working of the digestive system and the functioning of the endocrine system. The neuro endocrine system possesses complete control over the internal balance state of the body. Hence, it is closely linked with increase in the stress level of the body. Evidences of high levels of stress on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal region can largely affect the immunity of the body. This explains the sparse inflammation that is often observed among IBS patients. Further, it is observed that stress is the main cause behind aggravated IBS in patients. Hence, it is strongly advised that the patients practice the principles of stress management in order to suppress the symptoms of IBS.
