Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms:
➊ Recurrent bloating that leaves you feeling heavy, swollen, and uncomfortable — even after eating small meals 💨
➋ Frequent diarrhea, often without warning, that becomes a regular part of your day 🚽
➌ Long-term constipation that drags on for days, making you feel sluggish and backed up 🧱
➍ Alternating between constipation and diarrhea, sometimes in the same week — or even the same day ⏳
➎ Abdominal pain, cramping, and excessive gas that flares up after meals or seemingly out of nowhere ⚡
➏ Mucus in your stools, which can be surprising and confusing if you’ve never dealt with it before 🧻
➐ Trouble with foods like garlic and onion, which trigger symptoms due to high FODMAP content 🧄
➑ Lethargy and daytime fatigue, even when you’ve had a full night’s sleep — because gut health impacts your energy levels too 😴

IBS is real. It’s invisible. But it’s valid.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — millions of people around the world are navigating life with IBS. The good news? With the right support, nutrition, and care, relief is possible.

Your gut deserves attention, not shame.
