    Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common diagnosis given when investigations rule out organic bowel disease as the cause of chronic diarrhea, constipation, or both, without rectal bleeding or weight loss. The colon muscles in IBS patients begin to spasm after mild stimuli like certain foods, medicines, or stress. Common symptoms include alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloating and gas, and painful abdominal cramps or urgency after meals or stress. Symptoms are typically relieved by bowel movements.

    Addisons Disease :

    How does Addison's disease occur? Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. The disease is also called adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. What is cortisol? Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It belongs to a class of hormones called glucocorticoids, which affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Scientists think that cortisol has possibly hundreds of effects in the body. Cortisol's most important job is to help the body respond to stress. Among its other vital tasks, cortisol: helps maintain blood pressure and heart function helps slow the immune system's inflammation response helps balance the effects of insulin in breaking down sugar for energy helps regulate the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats helps maintain proper arousal and sense of well-being

    Bronchiectasis :
    Bronchiectasis is a disease state defined by localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree. It is classified as an obstructive lung disease, along with emphysema, bronchitis and cystic fibrosis. Involved bronchi are dilated, inflamed, and easily collapsible, resulting in airflow obstruction and impaired clearance of secretions. Bronchiectasis is associated with a wide range of disorders, but it usually results from necrotizing bacterial infections, such as infections caused by the Staphylococcus or Klebsiella species or Bordetella pertussis.[1] Signs and symptoms:People with bronchiectasis produce frequent green/yellow sputum. There may be bad breath. Prevention : In order to prevent bronchiectasis, children should be immunized against measles, pertussis and other acute respiratory infections of childhood. While smoking has not been found to be a direct cause of bronchiectasis, it is certainly an irritant that all patients should avoid in order to prevent the development of infections (such as bronchitis) and further complications.[14] Treatment : Treatment of bronchiectasis includes controlling infections and bronchial

    secretions, relieving airway obstructions, removal of affected portions of lung by surgical removal or artery embolization and preventing complications. This includes the prolonged usage of antibiotics to prevent detrimental infections[16], as well as eliminating accumulated fluid with postural drainage and chest physiotherapy. Surgery may also be used to treat localized bronchiectasis, removing obstructions that could cause progression of the disease.[17

    Alternating diarrhea (loose bowel movements) and constipation, from which one can dominate Bloating and gas Painful abdominal cramps or urgency after the meal or stress event

    Symptoms are typically relieved by a bowel movement Mucus in the bowel movement

    NOTE: There is no fever, bowel bleeding, persistent severe abdominal pain, or weight loss in IBS. If any of these symptoms appear, this is not IBS and other bowel disorders should be considered.
