A member asked:
How does one have irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, what is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 Types: There are two types of irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea predominant and alternating constipation and diarrhea. There is some kind of rhythmic muscle contraction dysregulation that causes this, but I'm not sure the specific defect.
