See gastroenterologi: Ibs or short for irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by alternating constipation and diarrhea often with diarrhea as the main symptom or constipation as the other. Individuals with this condition experience severe abdominal discomfort with bloating, vague pain more than burning or sharp pain, that is ever present. Burning pain speaks more of gastritis or even a gastroesophageal reflux.
