Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Acid Reflux are two common digestive disorders that affect millions worldwide. IBS is a chronic condition that disrupts bowel habits, causing discomfort, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. Acid reflux, on the other hand, occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. While both conditions affect digestion, they target different parts of the digestive system. IBS affects the intestines, while acid reflux primarily affects the stomach and esophagus. These conditions can significantly impact daily life, leading to stress, dietary restrictions, and discomfort.
