GI issues: constipation, ibs, bloating, sibo, etc

GI Issues (IBS, Bloating): Gastrointestinal (GI) issues encompass a range of digestive disorders that affect the stomach and intestines, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional GI disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, along with changes in bowel habits, without evidence of underlying structural abnormalities. Bloating, a sensation of fullness or tightness in the abdomen due to excess gas, can occur as a result of various factors including dietary choices, gastrointestinal conditions, or hormonal fluctuations. Management typically involves dietary modifications, stress management techniques, medication, and lifestyle changes.
