irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal reflux
I think that my irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal reflux have both decided to have a flare up. Double the fun! I have three jobs and today I'm scheduled to work at two of them and really don't feel able to after disturbed nights and painful days. I don't like phoning in absent as I know that my colleagues will have to do my work as well as their own
I'm glad to have safe spaces like here to talk about tummies!

Symptoms can include stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation. The condition is often lifelong, although the symptoms may change over time. With the right strategies, IBS can be successfully managed

Re: irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal reflux
Probiotics are essentially live micro-organisms that increase the good or friendly bacteria in the digestive system which leads to improved digestion and other health benefits. Research has shown that probiotics could help control gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome in some people.
Over-eating, eating spicy, oily foods, alcohol, sleeping/lying down immediately after eating, eating in a hurry, chronic stress, etc. can all cause heartburn or acid reflux. Imbalance in the gut bacteria can lead to an improper breakdown of food and an increase in intestinal gas, bloating and create unpleasant acid reflux.
