Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that a significant number of people suffer from daily, yet it still remains misunderstood and thus difficult to treat or manage. It is a common condition that affects patients physically, psychologically, socially and economically. 1 Also sometimes referred to as spastic colon, IBS is defined as a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. 1,2 It is usually characterised by stomach cramps, abdominal pain and intermittent diarrhoea occurring over a period of at least 3 months. 3,4 It is important to note that IBS is not a disease, but rather a functional disorder, meaning an abnormal function of the bowels, that results in a number of symptoms. Other symptoms include, bloating, gassiness or flatulence, and bowel habits that alternate between periods of diarrhoea (IBS-D) and constipation (IBS-C). 1,2

The constellation of a sore throat, rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion, coughing, low-grade fever, headaches and the malaise of the common cold, has been recognised as a disease entity since antiquity. 1,2 The common cold is the most frequent human illness, and is caused by members of several families of viruses. The most likely offenders are the ±100 serotypes of rhinoviruses. 2

Nausea can be described as the overall unpleasant sensation of needing to vomit. It is often accompanied by pallor, chills and sweating. Should nausea progress to vomiting, the ejection of gastric contents through the mouth occurs, often requiring a forceful event. Vomiting is sometimes valuable, as it rids the body of toxic matter. Nausea can occur due to various reasons, e.g. pregnancy, head trauma, viral or bacterial gastrointestinal infections, motion sickness and travel sickness. Many medicines can also lead to nausea, like anticancer agents, digoxin, antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
