The condition Irritable Bowel Syndrome can sometimes Get Worse With Age for some people but not everyone experiences worse symptoms of the IBS as they age.

But some people do experience worse symptoms the older they get with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Also if you're a woman and on your period the Irritable Bowel Syndrome can get worse after your period and then it should clear up a week later.

Flare ups of Irritable Bowel Syndrome usually last around 4 to 5 days and then it should go away and you should feel a bit better.

If the irritable bowel syndrome seems to get worse and doesn't get better after 5 days then you might want to see your doctor about it because something more serious may be going on.
