Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns. Yes, you have Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a common disorder that affects your large intestine (colon). Despite these uncomfortable signs and symptoms you have, IBS doesn't cause permanent damage to your colon. Most people with IBS find that symptoms improve as they learn to control their condition. In your case, control irritable bowel syndrome by managing your diet, lifestyle and stress.

It is important to manage your diet:

1. Limit or eliminate foods that may make diarrhea worse, including caffeine, alcohol, milk products, foods high in sugar, fatty foods, gas-producing foods (such as beans, cabbage, and broccoli), and the artificial sweeteners.

2. To reduce constipation, add fiber to your diet, drink plenty of water, and get regular exercise.

3. Eat slowly and have meals in a quiet, relaxing environment.

Finally, you should know only a small number of people with irritable bowel syndrome have disabling signs and symptoms. However, unlike more-serious intestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome doesn't cause inflammation or changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer.

Wish you good health.
