Irritants for IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome (or ibs) is aggravated by a number of different things. Most commonly, the list includes caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, constipating foods or those that cause increased gas (such as beans), and a lack of exercise. Everyone has different triggers for their ibs, and one should avoid the things that result in exacerbations.

Many triggers : Irritable bowel syndrome is the multifactorial consequence of hormonal, immune system and nervous system dysfunction resulting from genetic predispositions and dietary and environmental insults. The predominant symptoms like diarrhea cramps constipation are the result of autonomic nervous system instability.
