Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can benefit from running as part of their recovery process. Patients with IBS need moderate exercise, which can significantly aid in the recovery of their intestinal health. Additionally, IBS is somewhat linked to emotions; engaging in physical exercise can relieve fatigue and shift the patient's focus, which helps in improving the symptoms of IBS. At the same time, patients with IBS should consume a diet consisting of light and easily digestible foods, and avoid greasy or spicy foods.

Does irritable bowel syndrome cause stomach discomfort?

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome may experience stomach discomfort, as irritable bowel syndrome may be a type of functional dyspepsia. Therefore, patients with functional dyspepsia may experience stomach discomfort, which manifests as bloating, early satiety, belching, acid reflux, heartburn, etc. Once patients experience stomach discomfort, it is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department of a reputable hospital as soon as possible to complete a gastroscopic examination and a carbon-13 breath test, as well as to check for Helicobacter pylori.

Does pressing on the stomach hurt with Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Whether pressing on the abdomen causes pain in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) depends on the specific circumstances. If an IBS patient experiences abdominal pain due to intestinal spasms, pressing on the abdomen may relieve the pain. If an IBS patient does not have abdominal pain and deeply presses on the abdomen, it may cause abdominal pain. IBS patients should eat light, easily digestible foods and avoid spicy and irritating foods. They should quit smoking and drinking, avoid drinking strong tea and coffee, and also need to use some medications to regulate the intestinal flora for treatment.

Do you need to take medication for a long time for irritable bowel syndrome?

Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) do not have organic diseases in their intestines. The main issue is that the threshold of their intestinal tract is relatively low, making it easy for accumulations to occur, which subsequently leads to IBS. Patients are often tense and anxious. Therefore, patients with this condition often need to take medication for a long time to achieve relatively effective symptom control. However, patients with IBS should not be overly nervous or anxious, as IBS does not lead to malignant intestinal changes or other organic intestinal diseases.

What should I do if irritable bowel syndrome causes diarrhea immediately after eating?

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome experience diarrhea immediately after eating, and at this time, it is necessary to further perfect the electronic colonoscopy to exclude the possibility of organic intestinal diseases. If the possibility of organic intestinal diseases has been completely ruled out, it is possible to consider the discretionary use of bidirectional intestinal regulators for treatment, such as the use of trimebutine maleate. It is also necessary to use medications that regulate the intestinal flora for treatment. If necessary, anti-anxiety medications such as fluvoxamine and milnacipran can also be used for treatment. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
