What are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in the elderly?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. Please ask, what are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in the elderly?

Doctor's answer:

General elderly people experience Irritable Bowel Syndrome again, mainly manifested as changes in bowel movements. It is common to have the habit of defecating after experiencing abdominal pain, and the pain will be relieved after defecation. Sometimes nausea and vomiting or an increase in the frequency of bowel movements may occur. The possibility of experiencing spasmodic abdominal pain is also relatively high, but the severity is usually mild, recurrent, and typically requires the use of drugs that regulate nerve function, as well as physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and stability.
