Common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a chronic gut-brain disorder that causes a variety of digestive and systemic symptoms. The most common IBS symptoms include:

  • Abdominal pain or cramping related to bowel movements
  • Changes in bowel habits – constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between both
  • Persistent bloating and excess gas
  • Urgent or incomplete bowel movements
  • Visible mucus or residue in the stool

Other related symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, anxiety, or low mood. Although IBS doesn’t cause lasting damage to the digestive tract, it can greatly affect daily comfort and quality of life. If you’re experiencing these symptoms regularly, take the IBS quiz to better understand your condition – and consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and support.

Is this quiz accurate?

This test is only to self-assess your symptoms. However it will not guarantee that you may be diagnosed with IBS. This test can be used for self-screening to track the progress of your symptoms and can be taken to a doctor to show how your behavior has changed from one visit to the next. Only a trained medical professional, such as a doctor or mental health professional, can help you determine the next best steps for you.
