10 Signs of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Alternating diarrhea and constipation

Alternating or mixed diarrhea and constipation affect around 20% of people with IBS. It tends to involve recurring and chronic abdominal pain, which is the most significant indication that changes in your bowel movements aren’t associated with mild, common infection or diet. The exact sign can vary from people to people. However, it is often more severe than other types of IBS with more intense and frequent effects. This condition often needs an individualized treatment approach instead of “one-size-fits-all” solutions. [5]
