Ayurvedamentioned one disease known as Grahani'. The Symptom of this Grahani resembles most of IBS symptoms. Grahani is the seat of Agni and is called so because of holding up the food. Normally, it holds up the food (till it is digested) and releases it from the side after it is digested. But when it is deranged due to weak digestive fire it releases the ingested material even in unripe condition.
Causes of deranged Agni Agni is deranged by Fasting, Eating during Indigestion, Over eating, Irregularly eating, Intake of Unsuitable, Heavy, Cold, Too Rough and Contaminated Food, Emaciation due to some disease, Faulty adaptation to Place, Time and Season, Faulty Administration of Emesis, Purgation and Unction and Suppression of Natural Urges. Agni thus deranged becomes unable to digest even the light food and the food being undigested gets Acidified and Toxic.
