Gender: Women are twice as likely to develop IBS as men, supposedly due to the hormonal changes they undergo during their menstrual cycle.
Smoking: IBS symptoms tend to be worse among people who smoke or those who are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke, with nicotine being the major irritant.
Genetic factors: If IBS runs in your family, you are highly likely to develop it too since it’s often passed on through generations.
Stress: Frequent stress, anxiety, and tension increase your risk of developing IBS and induce flare-ups.
Food intolerance: Any kind of food intolerance or allergy can also lead to the onset of IBS symptoms.
Constipation: Any hindrance in the passage or movement of stools through the digestive tract can set the ground for IBS.
Oversensitivity: People with naturally oversensitive intestines are more prone to IBS.
Altered hormonal regulation: A spike in the estrogen level is associated with increased severity of abdominal pain in patients with IBS.
Causes
The precise cause of IBS isn't known. Factors that appear to play a role include:
Muscle contractions in the intestine. The walls of the intestines are lined with layers of muscle that contract as they move food through your digestive tract. Contractions that are stronger and last longer than normal can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea. Weak intestinal contractions can slow food passage and lead to hard, dry stools.
Nervous system. Abnormalities in the nerves in your digestive system may cause you to experience greater than normal discomfort when your abdomen stretches from gas or stool. Poorly coordinated signals between the brain and the intestines can cause your body to overreact to changes that normally occur in the digestive process, resulting in pain, diarrhea or constipation.
Severe infection. IBS can develop after a severe bout of diarrhea (gastroenteritis) caused by bacteria or a virus. IBS might also be associated with a surplus of bacteria in the intestines (bacterial overgrowth).
Early life stress. People exposed to stressful events, especially in childhood, tend to have more symptoms of IBS.
Changes in gut microbes. Examples include changes in bacteria, fungi and viruses, which normally reside in the intestines and play a key role in health. Research

Diagnosed
There's no test to definitively diagnose IBS. Your doctor is likely to start with a complete medical history, physical exam and tests to rule out other conditions, such as celiac disease.
After other conditions have been ruled out, your doctor is likely to use one of these sets of diagnostic criteria for IBS:
Diagnostic procedures: |
Laboratory tests |
X-ray or CT scan |
Lactose intolerance tests. |
Upper endoscopy |
Breath test for bacterial overgrowth |
Colonoscopy |
Stool tests |

Thus, IBS-A is a mixed bad wherein you have not set pattern of bowel activity. Nearly 25% of such IBS episodes result in hard or lumpy stools, while another 25% are accompanied by runny stools.

Treatment
Treatment of IBS focuses on relieving symptoms so that you can live as normally as possible.
Mild signs and symptoms can often be controlled by managing stress and by making changes in your diet and lifestyle. Try to:
Avoid foods that trigger your symptoms |
Drink plenty of fluids |
Eat high-fiber foods |
Exercise regularly |
Get enough sleep |

Fact Sheet
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, IBS is very common in the United States. Around 10%–15% of adults experience IBS symptoms but only 5%–7% have been diagnosed with it. One in five Americans suffers from IBS.

See your doctor if you have a persistent change in bowel habits or other signs or symptoms of IBS. They may indicate a more serious condition, such as colon cancer.
