Irritable Bowel Syndrome: What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable bowel syndrome

is a functional bowel disease characterized by an overreaction of the gut to stimuli, resulting in abnormal bowel movement, excess gas in the gut, and changes in bowel habits. Irritable bowel syndrome usually does not cause organic changes and does not affect heart function.
