IBS Constipation (IBS-C) is a type of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
in which abdominal discomfort or bloating happens with constipation. Generally,
constipation is when stools don't pass often enough (less than three times per
week). Having hard stools that are difficult to pass or the feeling of an
incomplete bowel movement are the symptoms of constipation.
Treatment of IBS - C focuses on relieving symptoms, so that you can live
as normally as possible.
Mild signs and symptoms can often be controlled by managing stress and
by making changes in your diet and lifestyle. Try to:
· Avoid foods that trigger your symptoms
Fiber helps reduce constipation but also can worsen gas and cramping.
Try slowly increasing the amount of fiber in your diet over a period of weeks
with foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans.
· Eat high-fiber foods
Eliminate foods that trigger your symptoms
· Drink plenty of fluids
Don't skip meals, and try to eat at about the same time each day to help
regulate bowel function. If you're constipated, eating larger amounts of
high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines.
· Exercise regularly
Exercise helps relieve depression and stress, stimulates normal
contractions of your intestines, and can help you feel better about yourself.
· Get enough sleep
Sleep difficulties are common in people with irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS), as well as other gastrointestinal disorders. Have a period of time of
relaxation before going to bed. Keep a specific wake up time even if you did
not sleep well during the night
Do not ignore if you are not able to control IBS-C symptoms by the above
methods. Consult our experienced Colorectal specialists in Bangalore to
