- Component of irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (also known as IBS) is a common digestive disorder that tens of thousands of individuals are diagnosed with every year; tens of thousands have already been diagnosed. If you experience what you would call “an upset stomach” more than a few times per week and can’t pinpoint an apparent dietary cause for it, it may be a good idea to get tested for IBS or other similar digestive conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease.
While conditions of the digestive system and bowels cannot directly cause appendicitis, they can increase your risk, as well as the risk of infections extending to other parts of the body.
If you suspect that you have a pre-existing condition such as IBS, get it diagnosed if you haven’t already, and then discover practical ways and techniques to manage it. It can reduce your risk of developing certain conditions and make conditions like IBS easier to live with.
