Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Symptoms of IBS usually aggravates with men stress(mental changes). Stress can stimulate colon spasms in people with IBS. The colon has many nerves that connect it to the brain. These nerves control the normal contractions of the colon and cause abdominal discomfort at stressful times. In people with IBS, the colon can be overly responsive to even slight conflict or stress. Stress makes the mind more aware of the sensations that arise in the colon. IBS symptoms can also increase a person’s stress level.
Some options for managing stress include:
participating in stress reduction and relaxation therapies such as meditation
getting counseling and support
taking part in regular exercise such as walking or yoga
minimizing stressful life situations as much as possible
getting enough sleep
Hope this helps you.
Regards
