Sahib Preet Singh, 30 Years

Meet Sahib Preet Singh, a resilient soul who battled the debilitating effects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) for far too long. At the age of 30, he found himself trapped in a whirlwind of despair, with no relief in sight despite countless medical interventions.

What is IBS-C?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurring abdominal pain or discomfort associated with constipation. Here’s an overview of its symptoms and potential causes:

Symptoms of IBS-C:

Abdominal Discomfort: Individuals with IBS-C often experience abdominal pain or discomfort that may be relieved by passing stool.
Constipation: Constipation is a hallmark symptom of IBS-C, characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stool, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
Bloating: Many people with IBS-C experience bloating, which can be uncomfortable and contribute to abdominal distension.
Straining during Bowel Movements: Due to constipation, individuals with IBS-C may need to strain excessively during bowel movements.
Changes in Stool Consistency: Stool consistency may vary, but it tends to be hard and lumpy in individuals with IBS-C.

Causes of IBS-C

The exact cause of IBS-C is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of factors, including:

Altered Gut Motility: Dysregulation of the muscles in the digestive tract may lead to slowed movement of stool, contributing to constipation.
Visceral Hypersensitivity: Individuals with IBS-C may have heightened sensitivity to pain in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to discomfort even with normal bowel function.
Changes in Gut Microbiota: Imbalances in the gut microbiota, the community of bacteria residing in the digestive system, have been implicated in IBS-C.
Dietary Factors: Certain foods and beverages, such as dairy products, caffeine, and high-fat foods, may exacerbate symptoms in individuals with IBS-C.
Stress and Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors can influence gut function and may exacerbate symptoms of IBS-C.

The Dark Days of Chronic IBS-C:

For the past five years, Sahib has endured the relentless grip of IBS-C, a condition that not only plagued his body but also took a toll on his mental health.

Despite numerous visits to different doctors, the only solutions offered were depression drugs and steroids, pushing Sahib to the brink of despair.
In his darkest moments, he even contemplated taking his own life, feeling utterly defeated by his condition.
His journey was marked by endless medical procedures, including three colonoscopies, two endoscopies, and a staggering seven ultrasounds. Yet none provided the relief he so desperately sought.
