Many people get the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease confused. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms consist of gas, pain, cramping, bloating and diarrhea and constipation. There are several different subtypes of IBS, depending on the number of bowel movements a client has and whether they have diarrhea, constipation, or both. Most people with IBS have attacks three or more times a month.

On the other hand, inflammatory bowel disorder is more silent. Blood in the stool is a common problem. There may be pain, but it is usually more subtle. Changes in bowel patterns are late stage. IBD is an inflammatory disorder related to changes in the intestinal immune response. Inflammatory bowel disorder has been linked to a higher incidence of colorectal cancer, while IBS has not.

One of the more effective ways to treat IBS is through naturopathic medicine. If you live in the Marietta GA area and are considering treatment for either IBS or IBD, contact our naturopathic doctors at Nova Clinic today.
