WHY DO MY IBS SYMPTOMS KEEP RETURNING?
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) IBS is a group of symptoms that occur together, including repeated pain in your abdomen and changes in your bowel movements, which may be diarrhea, constipation, or both. With IBS, you have these symptoms without any visible signs of damage or disease in your digestive tract. You may have explored what’s really causing your IBS and tried to make changes to your diet, exercise routine or how you cope with stress. You may wonder whether it is related to your gut bacteria – or is genetic. It is very common to try to find the ‘one thing’ that triggered our IBS symptoms.
VARIETY OF FACTORS THAT CAN TRIGGER (AND RE- TRIGGER) OUR SYMPTOMS 01 YOUR BODY – DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The colon, or large intestine, is the digestive organ most commonly associated with IBS. 02 EMOTIONS The gut is a common place that we hold unresolved emotions. To understand what your gut might be holding onto, consider a past experience that was upsetting and feel into your body.
STRESS 03 Stress that can be difficult to digest or let go of: Being on the receiving end of other people’s anger Not being able to express our own anger in a healthy way Difficulty coming to terms with painful changes or loss BELIEFS This belief can create feelings of fear, resentment or anger – linking with the emotional root cause. When we hold ourselves in we live in a state of conflict and tension, which can be expressed in our digestive system. If we avoid conflict to keep the peace, we start a war inside ourselves. 04
SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT 05 We are interconnected with our social and environmental surroundings. If we live in an abusive relationship, we are susceptible to events that will trigger and/or re-trigger chronic digestive issues on a regular basis. Recognizing and changing real-life stressors in our environment is vital for our health. LIFESTYLE MEDICINE 06 Lifestyle medicine helps in the treatment of IBS. This includes changes in diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. It can also help to reduce symptoms and live a healthier life.
