Eating habits, medical treatment and emotional distress are believed to cause this syndrome. One thing which is sure is that this is a functional disorder of the colon or large intestine. This can be a result of any change occurring within the body. Diet which includes such substances which can affect the working of the intestine in negative way can be a cause of IBS. Such a diet which can result in constipation and diarrhea are suspected to produce IBS. Gas problems can also result in IBS. Over eating, hormonal changes during menstrual cycle and bad eating habits can also be a cause of irritable bowel’s syndrome. Lactose intolerance is also suspected to cause IBS.
