IBS Quiz: Do you have IBS symptoms? | Nerva Health

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.
