What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Causes and Symptoms

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It can cause discomfort, pain, and irregular bowel habits, significantly impacting daily life. If you often experience bloating, stomach cramps, or changes in your bowel movements, you may be dealing with IBS. Understanding its causes and symptoms can help you find effective management strategies.

What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal condition that affects the large intestine. It is classified as a functional disorder, meaning it affects bowel function without any visible structural damage. While IBS is not life threatening, it can cause persistent discomfort and disrupt daily activities.

Causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The exact cause of IBS remains unknown, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development:

1. Gut-Brain Connection

IBS is often linked to how the brain and gut interact. Stress, anxiety, and emotional health can influence gut function, leading to IBS symptoms.

2. Abnormal Gut Motility

In some people, the muscles in the intestines contract too strongly, causing diarrhea, while in others, they move too slowly, leading to constipation.

3. Intestinal Infections

A history of severe infections or food poisoning can increase the risk of developing IBS. Some people develop IBS after a bacterial or viral infection in the digestive tract.

4. Changes in Gut Microbiota

The gut is home to trillions of bacteria that aid digestion. An imbalance in gut bacteria can contribute to IBS symptoms, including bloating and irregular bowel movements.

5. Food Sensitivities

Certain foods, such as dairy, gluten, spicy foods, and processed items, may trigger IBS symptoms in some individuals.

Common Symptoms of IBS

IBS symptoms can vary from person to person and may range from mild to severe. The most common symptoms include:

Abdominal Pain and Cramps: Persistent or intermittent pain, usually relieved after a bowel movement.

Bloating and Gas: A feeling of fullness or excessive gas production.

Diarrhea or Constipation: Some people experience frequent loose stools, while others have difficulty passing stool. IBS can also cause alternating diarrhea and constipation.

Mucus in Stool: A noticeable presence of mucus in bowel movements.

Fatigue and Sleep Issues: Many individuals with IBS also experience tiredness and trouble sleeping.

Can Colon Cleansing Help with IBS?

While IBS treatment often includes dietary adjustments and stress management, some people find relief through colon cleansing.

The Importance of Digestive Enzymes for Gut Health

Digestive health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, and one key factor in maintaining a healthy gut is the presence of digestive enzymes. These enzymes help break down food into essential nutrients, allowing the body to absorb and utilize them efficiently. Without sufficient digestive enzymes, gut problems like bloating, indigestion, and nutrient deficiencies can arise. If you frequently experience digestive discomfort, understanding the role of digestive enzymes can help you take better care of your gut.

What Are Digestive Enzymes?

Digestive enzymes are proteins that help break down food into smaller components, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients. These enzymes are produced naturally by the body, primarily in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. Some are also found in certain foods, such as papaya and pineapple.

Types of Digestive Enzymes and Their Functions

There are several types of digestive enzymes, each responsible for breaking down specific nutrients:

1. Amylase Breaks Down Carbohydrates

Amylase is responsible for breaking down starches and carbohydrates into simple sugars, which the body can use for energy. It is produced in the saliva and pancreas.

2. Protease Breaks Down Proteins

Protease enzymes help break down proteins into amino acids, which are essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall cell function.

3. Lipase Breaks Down Fats

Lipase helps digest fats and oils, converting them into fatty acids and glycerol for easy absorption.

4. Lactase Breaks Down Dairy

Lactase helps digest lactose, the sugar found in dairy products. People with lactose intolerance have low lactase levels, leading to digestive discomfort after consuming milk or cheese.

Why Are Digestive Enzymes Important for Gut Health?

Digestive enzymes play a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut and preventing digestive disorders. Here’s how they help:

Improve Nutrient Absorption: Enzymes break down food into essential nutrients, ensuring the body absorbs vitamins, minerals, and proteins efficiently.

Reduce Bloating and Gas: Proper digestion prevents the fermentation of undigested food, which can cause gas and bloating.

Support a Healthy Microbiome: A well-functioning digestive system helps maintain a balanced gut flora, reducing the risk of gut infections and inflammation.

Prevent Indigestion and Acid Reflux: When food is broken down efficiently, it reduces the risk of acid reflux and heartburn.

If you're experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, seeking Gut Problems Treatment in Indore can help identify the root cause and provide effective solutions, including enzyme therapy and dietary adjustments.

Can Colon Cleansing Support Digestive Enzyme Function?

Colon cleansing is another approach that some people use to improve gut health. By flushing out accumulated waste and toxins, colon cleansing can support digestion and enhance enzyme function. If you’re considering this option, consulting a professional for colon cleansing can help you determine if it’s suitable for your condition.

Digestive enzymes are essential for breaking down food, ensuring proper nutrient absorption, and maintaining gut health. If you struggle with digestive issues, increasing enzyme intake through diet or supplements may help. For persistent symptoms, seeking Gut Problems Treatment is recommended. Additionally, some individuals may benefit from colon cleansing in Indore to promote better digestion and overall gut health.

Day 7: hoodie weather

Masterlist flufftober 🎃

Reblog if you liked it!

Autumn was, without a doubt, a clear prelude to the approaching winter. It was raining outside, and your boyfriend was sleeping on your apartment couch, forced to take a break by his unit chief after he fainted at the office from exhaustion. He had, of course, refused, but after Aaron warned him that he could suspend him for longer, Spencer had no choice but to comply.

When he called to tell you, you suggested that he spend the day at your place. You often scolded him for neglecting his health, and you tried hard to help him develop healthier habits. But it seemed Spencer often forgot, and this situation was clear proof of that.

Every so often, you touched his forehead to check that he didn’t have a fever, and due to the cold, you had covered him with one of your quilt to prevent him from catching a cold. He looked so peaceful and comfortable that you felt touched, even if the reasons for his rest weren’t to your liking.

Your laptop lay abandoned on the coffee table, and you thought it was a good time to take care of some pending tasks, although honestly, the weather just made you want to sleep all afternoon. While waiting for the machine to turn on, you decided to head to the kitchen to make yourself some coffee, returning quickly and settling comfortably in the armchair in your living room, ready to work.

You lost track of time after the first hour and probably your third cup of coffee when, suddenly, you saw your boyfriend stir in his spot. You thought he was just readjusting to sleep better, but that idea vanished when he sat up on the couch and looked at you with sleepy eyes.

“Hey,” you murmured with a smile, taking off your earbuds.

“Hi.”

“How was your beauty sleep?” you joked, and behind his hand rubbing his eye, you saw a smile.

“I feel more tired than when I lay down.”

“That happens when you have so much accumulated exhaustion,” you replied disapprovingly.

You put your laptop aside and decided, now that there was space, to sit next to Reid. Gently and kindly, you extended your hand to fix some of his messy hair. You looked at his eyes, still closed, like when you want to stop sleeping, but your body refuses, as if trying to prolong the satisfaction of resting.

“Thanks for the quilt,” he murmured, snuggling more into it and leaning against your body.

Everything about him radiated warmth, which was perfect for you, suffering from the cold that seeped in from the outside. His head nestled into your neck, and his arms wrapped around your waist, practically curling up next to you. You felt him plant a couple of soft kisses on your neck and jaw, making your heart race and drawing a sigh from you.

“Do you want me to make you something? You haven’t eaten anything today,” you observed in a soft voice, feeling him shake his head against your skin.

“I just want to be with you,” he sighed. You felt him inhale softly near you, and then he continued, “You smell like coffee. Have you been drinking coffee?”

“Mhm.”

“I want a cup.”

“No. You’ll have it once you’ve eaten something.”

“I can drink it now.”

“Doctor Reid, would you care to remind me what the consequences of drinking coffee on an empty stomach are?”

“It increases the production of stomach acid, which can damage the stomach lining and cause heartburn, indigestion, nausea, and reflux. This excess acid can also lead to irritable bowel syndrome, temporarily raise blood pressure, and in people sensitive or intolerant to caffeine, it can cause anxiety or nervousness.”

“Thank you,” you murmured calmly, as he recited it almost like a prayer. “Once you’ve eaten something, I’ll make you a cup.”

You both fell silent for a moment, enjoying the sound of the rain hitting the windows outside and the calm of your embrace. Spencer didn’t know if you realized just how much you meant to him and the peace he felt whenever he was in a position like this with you. Nothing compared to the sensation of your skin, breathing in your scent, feeling you stroke his hair… simply knowing he was loved and cared for by you made him feel like there was no more perfect place in the world.

After a few minutes, you thought he had fallen back asleep, but that idea disappeared when you heard him speak again.

“I feel a bit guilty for not going to work. I wish I knew how the case was going, but Aaron warned me I couldn’t even call them.”

“You shouldn’t push yourself so hard, love,” you murmured softly into his ear, which was at the level of your mouth. “Sometimes it’s necessary to rest. And I hope this serves as a warning, your own body is demanding that you stop for a moment. I wouldn’t like them to call me from the hospital one of these days because something happened to you. Do you understand?”

Although your voice sounded like a scolding, it was really masked concern. You didn’t know how to help him, and Spencer left out the part where he couldn’t rest due to recurring nightmares.

But now he didn’t want to talk about that. Everyone asked him about it and looked at him as if he were some sort of misfortunate soul… he didn’t want that pity, least of all from you.

“It’s cold,” he noted, wanting to change the subject.

“Yes, it’s cold. But it’s nice weather, isn’t it?”

“I like it. It’s peaceful, and it gives me an excuse to cuddle you.”

He felt your chest vibrate with laughter, and then, finally, he came out of his hiding spot to look at you. His furrowed brow had softened into a silly smile, one that reflected his complete love for you.

“Reid, you can always cuddle me, you don’t need an excuse for that.”

“But I like having one. That way, I make sure you’re warm.”

With your own smile, you stretched slightly to join your lips in a kiss you intended to be short, a plan your boyfriend denied. He maneuvered to lay you down on the couch and continued kissing you, as if it were a task of utmost importance. Though you didn’t know where this sudden enthusiasm came from, it didn’t occur to you to complain.

“Did you know...” your boyfriend began to whisper, “... that kisses can have a relaxing effect? The body releases oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins” with each word, he punctuated it with a kiss. “Plus, cortisol levels�� decrease.”

“So, you’re kissing me in the name of science?”

“For my health,” he corrected, utterly amused.

He had positioned himself between your legs, and you instinctively wrapped them around his hips, eager to keep the distance between you as minimal as possible.

“Let’s go get you something to eat,” you suggested in a whisper, trying to persuade him with a short kiss “Then you can continue with your medicinal therapy.”

Spencer didn’t need to hear it twice, and as you had promised, after a hearty meal, you both dove back into another session of caresses. All for weather and health-related reasons… of course.

Hell Week

Pairing: Bi-Han x Fem. Reader

A/N: This is for my bad period girlies where you are waiting for death to arrive, the cramps are bottoming you out, the nausea is deathly, and you are curled in a ball. Been there, done that! Norco for the win :(. Let’s have sweetheart Bi-Han take care of y’all! He might be a little ooc. It might be a little short as well but i tried to make it a little long.

Content warning: Periods. That’s the warning. You already know.

Summary: You have hellish periods that absolutely destroy you for a week. Bi-Han is there to keep you company and help you with absolutely anything you need.

The hellish week had arrived. And it came full force. Seemingly normal, you were in a blissful happiness. That was, until you had woken up in the middle of the night with the most horrific period cramps ever. Absolutely diabolical. Trying to quiet your painful groans, you curled into a small ball and away from your husband. You did not want to awake him from his slumber. He needed the rest. And you did not want to bother him with something so small like this.

But oh, it was not so small. Periods for you were extremely painful and long. The Lin Kuei doctors were doing their best to diagnose you, but it was not quick enough. They were skeptical it was endometriosis, but then again, it could be polycystic ovary syndrome. Or uterine fibroids. Or even irritable bowel syndrome. Whatever it was, it caused you hell.

Feeling you fidget around, Bi-Han woke up. “What’s wrong, my love? I feel you moving around.” He sat up to look at you. You looked like you were in bad pain.

“My period started. I have the worst cramps.” You replied back, trying to curl into a ball more and more.

He frowned. He should have expected this to come sooner. “My firefly, you should sit in the bath. I will run it for you.”

“I can’t get up, sweetheart.” You said. “I can hardly move.”

Getting up from the bed, he padded to your side. “Then I will pick you up. I got you.” He started to pick you up, and although it was nice to be in his presence, the cramps hit with a vengeance. Before clenching your eyes shut, you were met with an embarrassing sight. You had bled all over the bed.

“Bi-Han, I am so sorry,” You apologized, feeling tears prick your eyes. “Oh my goodness, I am so sorry!”

He glanced at the bed, his eyes slightly widening at how much blood loss there was. There were a few accidents in the past, but every time it seemed to surprise him a bit how much you could bleed. “My dear, they are only bed sheets. And you are speaking to the same man who has a history of conquering clans. Blood does not affect me.”

Feeling a bit comforted but still guilty, you clenched your eyes shut as he walked with you to the bathroom. He gently set you on the toilet, scanning over your body as he saw the painful expression on your face. He hated to see you suffer every month like this. He knew how much it took a toll.

Running the bath, Bi-Han gently rubbed your legs as he checked the temperature over and over again. He had to make sure it was perfect, as well as that there were a good amount of bubbles and lavender fragrance. Once he knew it was ready, he nodded his head at you. “I can help you undress. Stand up, if you can.”

Shakily standing, you let him undress you. Right now, you wanted to sink in the warm bath and did not care how you looked while he was taking your garments off. The blood soaked ones would be thrown out and replaced with new ones. Bi-Han always made sure you never wore bloodied garments after they were stained. He could afford new clothes, why wear them again?

He helped you inside the tub and you slowly sank inside, sighing quietly at the warmth. You looked at him so full of love. “Thank you, my love. This feels good. But I don’t feel well.”

“I know, my dear.” He said as he caressed the side of your cheek. “I will fetch you medication and water. And I will prepare the bed for you again.”

You nodded your head at him, and as he was about to leave, you called his name out. “Bi-Han?”

He stepped back inside the bathroom and kneeled down next to you. “Yes, my love?”

You played with the bubbles. “Do you think maybe you could spend the day with me today? I don’t think I can manage on my own. It’s really bad.”

Bi-Han would take as many days off as he wanted to in order to take care of you. He did not care if his clan became annoyed. You came first, and if you were suffering, he needed to take care of you. “Of course. I will always take care of you. I will be right back, dear.” He said as he kissed your head softly.

He left the bathroom, and you felt yourself feel sleepy but the cramps were too much. They would not let you rest. You curled your arms against your stomach and laid your head back. You would have to wait until Bi-Han gave you medication after the bath. He was so lovely. Always so willing to help and comfort you. It made you want to cry.

Oh no, now you were crying. Not out of sadness, out of the fact that he loved you very much. And you loved him very much. It made you so emotional!

After changing the sheets off the bed and grabbing spare clothes for his wife, Bi-Han returned to get her out of the bath. He saw her crying, and he immediately went to her side. “What is wrong, my firefly? Why are you crying?” His anxieties increased.

“I just love you so much, and you are so sweet. It’s making me emotional, and I feel so stupid for crying like this. I’m sorry.” You babbled as he gently wiped your tears away. He felt his heart swell that you were crying over something like that.

“Of course I love you, you are my firefly.” He replied gently, sending you into a sobbing mess. He rubbed circles on your back and hugged you, not caring if you got him wet. He felt bad that you were so emotional. Almost breakable. Times like these always made him feel guilty. “Do not cry, you will make your symptoms worse.”

You sniffled. He was right. But it was hard to calm down. He gently rubbed your hand before he grabbed a towel. “Let’s get you out of there. I made the bed.”

With his help, you got out of the tub as Bi-Han wrapped the towel around you. He helped you dry off, and right after he helped you prepare your pads. You usually wore two, one situated towards the front and the other more towards the back for full protection. It usually saved you from bleeding through clothes. You slipped on your underwear as you held onto Bi-Han for support who looked away to give you more privacy. He knew how trying these period weeks were.

After you put on your underwear and pads, you got dressed in night attire once again. The cramps that were slightly alleviated by the warm water, were now completely back. You wanted to lay down already. Bi-Han already knew, and he picked you up so he could settle you in bed.

“I will bring you your medication and a heating pad.” Bi-Han said as he kissed your cheek. “I will be back very soon. Try to rest.”

“I love you, my love.” You said to him as you grabbed his hand before he walked off.

He slightly smiled. “I love you more, my firefly.” He squeezed your hand and walked off to get you what you needed. You tried to get comfortable, but the pain was unbearable. Trying to rest with discomfort was not ideal. You waited for Bi-Han to return.

Bi-Han was doing his best to be quick. He knew you needed the medication as soon as possible, but he needed Kuai Liang to heat up the heating pad to perfection. There were some things that Bi-Han could not do.

Kuai Liang was half asleep in his chambers, debating between getting up or laying within his bed. Bi-Han entered his room. “Brother, are you awake?”

Kuai sat up. “Yes, is everything okay, brother?”

“Of course. I need you to do something.” Bi-Han held out one of the Warmies that Tomas had bought at the market for his wife. It was not an unknown fact how much her periods affected her as she had accidents in front of the brothers. They understood that this week meant she was in her worst state.

The pyromancer was more alert now as he took the stuffed animal from Bi-Han, heating it up as much as possible. Bi-Han knew that it would get cold in his hands, so they understood that Kuai needed to heat it up to the maximum temperature the material could withstand. After doing so, he handed it back to Bi-Han. “Rest well, brother. Shall Tomas and I let the Elders know that you are taking the day off?”

“Yes. I will be back tomorrow or the day after.” Bi-Han replied. “Thank you, Kuai Liang.”

They nodded their heads at each other, and Bi-Han made his way to the medicinal cabinet where he grabbed medication for her cramps. She needed one of the highest dosages of medication. Then, he walked to the kitchen, setting the items down so he could heat up tea for her. Green tea was supposedly helpful, but it only eased her nausea and bloating. After he was finished, he took a small tray with the items back to their shared bedroom where she laid with furrowed brows and closed eyes. He set the tray on the table. “Take this, and here is the heating pad. Kuai Liang warmed it up, I’ll cool it down slightly so it does not scald your skin.” He took the stuffed animal and focused on cooling it down as it was very hot to the touch. He did not want it to hurt his wife.

You sipped on the tea and took your medication. You hoped it would kick in soon so you could rest well. After Bi-Han was done messing with the temperature, he laid the animal across your lower stomach where your cramps were centralized. You sighed quietly in the warm relief. “Thank you, my dear.”

“Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat.” Bi-Han asked her with loving eyes.

You shook your head. “No thank you. All I really want are cuddles from you.” You smiled.

He chuckled. “Of course, my dear.” He didn’t mind lazy days like these. He was always working and busy. And with you in his life, he wanted to have more days off to spend with you. He moved closer to you, trying to not freeze you out and make your cramps worse. He eventually settled on wrapping blankets around you so you could retain your warmth. You relaxed in his touch, leaning into him and closing your eyes. Your cramps were still bad, but with the medication beginning to kick in and the drowsiness starting to hit, it was beginning to be drowned out. Closing your eyes, you fell into a deep slumber.

Feeling cold, you shivered as you started to wake up. Bi-Han wasn’t next to you, making you feel sad. Where did he go? Was he called out on a mission? Why didn’t he tell you goodbye?

Before your thoughts could make you feel even more sad, the man himself popped his head in. “Good afternoon, my love. I made you lunch if you feel up for it.”

Your eyes lit up when you saw him. “I thought you left for business. I am a little hungry. I just need to change.”

He nodded his head. “If you need help, I can help you.”

You shook your head. “I think I’m okay. Thank you though. I really appreciate everything, my dear.” You got up from the bed, your vision darkening at the edges from getting up too fast. Bi-Han was there by your side in a flash. You gave him one more head nod to solidify that you were okay, and you trudged to the washroom to change your pad. Or rather, pads. It was the first day, which meant a heavy flow. So, it was often that you had to change. Plus, after a while it started to feel a little gross.

Once changed up, you left the bathroom and met with Bi-Han who had waited patiently outside. He wanted to make sure you were okay. Smiling at him, you followed him to the kitchen in order to eat your lunch. Kuai Liang and Tomas were eating their lunches as well, turning their attention to you.

“Good afternoon, sister!” They both greeted as they continued to devour their foods. You greeted them back.

“How do you feel?” Tomas asked you while you sat next to them. Bi-Han was serving your plate.

“I feel okay. I am really tired and a little faint.” You replied with a small sigh. Bi-Han got you cold water to go with your food. You needed to be hydrated.

Kuai frowned. “Hopefully it will let up soon. Or else Bi-Han is going to have an aneurysm.”

Bi-Han flicked his forehead. “No jokes. You two need to go back to training the soldiers.”

“But our lunch…” Tomas said sadly, making you tear up. Just about everything was making you emotional.

“Let them finish their meals”. You said tearfully as Bi-Han felt himself clam up. He hated making you cry.

He nodded. “Well, you heard her. Carry on.” He gave her her plate of food that she carefully ate. Tomas gave her a small smile that she giggled at. Her moods changed very easily around this time. It wasn’t that they had to walk on eggshells, they carefully had to tread to make sure she didn’t get overwhelmed or cry. Otherwise, Bi-Han would have their heads on ice picks.

The brothers cleared out of the kitchen after they finished their meals, leaving you and Bi-Han. You ate part of your plate, but you did not want to overdo it. Sometimes the nausea came out of nowhere. And you did not want to throw up your meal.

“Back to bed?” He asked you.

You nodded your head. “Yes. I am tired again. And really bloated.”

He felt your tummy, smiling to himself. You were right, you were bloated. It was super cute to him. It made him think about you carrying his child. But he pushed that thought out of his head. Maybe not yet. “Let’s go back to bed. I will be with you.”

He guided you to the bedroom, tucking you into bed before getting himself in bed.

“I love you, my darling.” You told him sleepily, eyes beginning to flutter shut as you cuddled into him.

“I love you more dear.” He responded while kissing the top of your head. “It’s sleep time. Rest well, my love.”

While you slept on him, he read a book. He hardly had the time to read, but on his days off like this, he liked to spend it with you and divulge himself in his interests while doing so. It passed the time while you slept, but sometimes it made him sleepy too. While you slept, he glanced down every once in a while to check on you, but he also admired you. You were beautiful to him. Even while suffering. He loved you very much so.

He marked his place in his book, setting it to the side carefully as to not disturb your sleep. Giving you another kiss on your forehead, he stared at the ceiling until he began to feel drowsy. He listened to your quiet breathing as he began to fall asleep. He would spend as many days like this if it meant that he made you happy and comforted. That’s what mattered to him most.
