Find Answers for Ongoing Digestive Symptoms
IBS is a chronic digestive disorder that affects how the large intestine functions. Unlike conditions such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, it does not cause visible damage to the digestive tract, but symptoms can still significantly affect daily life. It is considered a gut-brain interaction disorder, where communication between the digestive system and nervous system is disrupted, leading to symptoms that may come and go over time.
Common symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, urgent bowel movements, and changes in bowel habits. Some people may also experience mucus in the stool, nausea, or a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying, with symptoms often improving temporarily after a bowel movement.
IBS is more common in women, likely due to hormonal changes during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Women may also have greater digestive sensitivity and stronger gut-brain responses to stress, which can worsen symptoms like pain, bloating, and bowel changes. These factors often lead to unique symptom patterns that require individualized care.
There is no single treatment that works for everyone with IBS. Effective care usually combines several personalized strategies.
Dr. Saranya Addepally is a board-certified gastroenterologist with six years of clinical experience, treating a broad range of digestive and liver conditions. She is especially passionate about women’s GI health—areas where patients often feel overlooked or hesitant to seek care.
Her medical journey began in India, where she completed her training before moving to the United States to pursue advanced education in medicine and Gastroenterology at the University of Arkansas.
After several years in practice, she relocated to Houston to continue serving patients in the community. Following two years with a local group, she established her own practice, grounded in the principles and core values she believes are essential to delivering thoughtful, patient-centered care.
