Causes
IBS can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.


Quick Action Plan for IBS

1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.

2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.
Cleansing (especially colon) and Detoxification therapy such as short fasts, elimination diets, and colonics.

4. Enteric-coated peppermint oil and aloe vera juice.

5. Soothing baths two to five nights a week, as well as alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the abdomen.

6. Use Probiotics and soil-based organisms.

7. Therapeutic juices include wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice.

8. Stress reduction techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation.

9. If you are a smoker, stop and refrain from taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.

10. Examine the possibility of withheld emotions as the cause of your symptoms and get support through emotional and physical expression, especially movement therapies such as NIA, Qi gong, Yoga or Total Integration Therapy to name a few options.

Best of health to you

For a long time I was diagnosed with IBS, I was given pills for it but it made me sleepy. Then I learned it was anxiety related and took an anti-depressant that seemed to work. I also stay away from anything I know will trigger it. Greasy foods, Dairy products ( you could be lactose intolerant ) and lettuce. That works for me. And I know you wont believe me but mind over matter.

I had all the symptoms of IBS , but it turned out to be an intolerance to gluten. I gave up all foods with wheat in it and the symptoms went away. I don't have full blown celiac sprue , but my body seems to not like wheat. Have you looked at your diet to see if the symptoms happen when you eat certain foods? Keep a foods journal and see if its something you are eating. Good luck !

I'll bet people in the waiting room allow you to go ahead of them.

I do suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) I will usually alternate from constipation to diarrhea. I take Bentyl or Librax.However, if your medications are not working, I personally would go to a gastroenterologist and have it checked out.
