World Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Day's key messages revolve around early diagnosis, stigma reduction, improving the quality of life for IBS patients, and fostering global collaboration in digestive health advocacy. It serves to empower individuals to seek timely support and enhance awareness of this prevalent and often misunderstood condition.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) has several subtypes:

1. IBS with constipation (IBS-C): Predominant symptoms include hard, lumpy stools.
2. IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D): Characterized by frequent loose, watery stools.
3. IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS-M): Combines both diarrhea and constipation symptoms.
4. Post-infectious IBS: Develops after gastroenteritis, often related to gut inflammation.
5. Post-diverticulitis IBS: Occurs following diverticulitis episodes, even after treatment.
