Experiencing bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea? In this video, Jaime Ackerman, a physician assistant with Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, part of United Digestive, breaks down Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), one of the most common digestive conditions affecting adults today. 

She explains what IBS is, the most common symptoms and how it can show up differently from person to person. You’ll also learn about possible causes, including the connection between stress, diet and gut health, along with how IBS is diagnosed and which warning signs should not be ignored. 

The video also covers treatment options, lifestyle changes that can help manage symptoms and how approaches like the low FODMAP diet can help identify food triggers. While Irritable Bowel Syndrome can significantly impact daily life, many people find relief with the right care plan and support from a gastroenterology provider.

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing digestive symptoms, this video can help you better understand your gut health and when it may be time to seek medical care.
