Donnatal & Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Description
IBS Is a Common Disorder
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is known as a "functional disorder" because IBS does no permanent damage to the colon. Although it is not widely discussed, IBS is very common.
IBS has become increasingly common in the United States. According to the NIH, as many as 30% of Americans suffer from IBS at some time in their lives. It is not associated with hospitalization and surgery, but it can severely compromise a person's quality of life.
IBS is second only to the common cold as a cause of absenteeism from work. IBS is one of the top 10 reasons for physician visits (1) and the second most frequently encountered diagnosis in clinical practice, accounting for more physician visits than any symptoms other than those for respiratory tract infections.
