Bloating can be a symptom of a bowel disorder

Irritable bowel syndrome has many different symptoms and one symptom profile may not fit all. Diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome today is often simpler than it has been in the past. Doctors used to focus on ruling out other diseases and conditions. Now, doctors turn most of their attention to a patient's symptoms such as abdominal pain, bowel irregularities and bloating. This change in approach can lead to a speedy diagnosis and quick start of therapy.
