Alternating diarrhea and constipation, often referred to as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), can be caused by a variety of factors including dietary habits, stress, and gut sensitivity. Imbalances in gut bacteria, food intolerances, and changes in gut motility also play significant roles. Additionally, psychological factors such as anxiety and depression can exacerbate these symptoms. Proper diagnosis and management typically involve dietary adjustments, stress management, and sometimes medication.
