When the intestines function correctly, these muscles will contract properly, however in irritable bowel syndrome, the contractions of the intestines are intense and last for a longer period of time. The food or waste that is present in the intestines will move through quickly, accompanied by gas, and a bloated feeling in the stomach and intestine. However, it is also possible for the reverse to occur. The food moves through the intestine slowly, and the feces will become hard and dry, leading to constipation.
