IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both. One of the potential risk factors for IBS is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver cells of people who drink little to no alcohol. It is a common condition among people with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The excess fat in the liver can lead to inflammation and scarring, which can ultimately result in liver damage. In your case, as an IT professional working in Kolkata, you may be prone to a sedentary lifestyle, a diet high in calories and saturated fat, and stress. These factors can increase your risk of developing NAFLD, which, in turn, can increase your risk of IBS. Regarding your loose stools and stomach cramps, they could be related to IBS or other conditions such as infections, food intolerances, or inflammatory bowel disease. It would be best to consult a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis, if you want treatment after a proper diagnosis otherwise a customized diet plan will help you. I used to treat all these symptoms with the help of diet and basic exercise. To prevent NAFLD and IBS, you can adopt healthy lifestyle habits such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables, limiting saturated and trans fats, and reducing stress through relaxation techniques.
