Causes Of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Some of the diet habits that are believed to be causes of irritable bowel syndrome are:

• dairy products
• large meals
• spicy foods
• fatty foods
• not enough water intake

Aside from that just plain old stress in any form is what causes irritable bowel syndrome not only in the affected person but potentially also in people that are exposed to the stress infected person.

There are theories that another IBS cause could be the muscles in the colon which is why a diet high in fiber is often recommended to help smooth bowel movements.
