What Are The Best Medications For IBS (Irritable BowelSyndrome?)?

Question

I've been Taking several treatments without results, I have Chronic IBS (diarrhea type) for 4 years now, can you help please?

Answer 1

I had IBS, its what you eat and stress, relax and eat more fiber and driink alot of water, I lost way too much wieght during that ahhh sorry to hear

Answer 2

Food intolerance is gaining ground as a possible cause for IBS symptoms in many people. Sufferers find that by cutting out particular types of food such as dairy or gluten they reduce their symptoms, or they may find that they have certain 'trigger' foods that always set off symptoms.
One way to find out what foods are hurting you is to follow an exclusion diet, where you gradually cut out different foods for a week or so and see if you feel better. This should be carried out with the help of a nutritionist to make sure you don’t end up with a diet that hurts you more than it helps!
Esdifan is a revolutionary, natural nutritional supplement designed to treat these problems. It contains Zeolite in combination with other minerals that, by design, removes toxins from your digestive tract and stops diarrhea and stomach pains.The Zeolite that is in Esdifan is FDA approved and is such an effective detoxifier it is used in some water filters to absorb toxins.

LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) is the best treatment for MS and all Autoimmune Diseases and Cancers..................

"LDN may well be the most important therapeutic breakthrough in over fifty years. It provides a new method of medical treatment by mobilizing the natural defenses of one's own immune system." David Gluck, MD

Low Dose Naltrexone
FDA-approved naltrexone, in a low dose, can boost the immune system — helping those with MS,TM, HIV/AIDS, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and central nervous system disorders.

In May 2006, clinical trial researchers at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine reported: "LDN therapy offers an alternative safe, effective, and economic means of treating subjects with active Crohn's disease."

Here is a list of what LDN stops the Progression in....

What diseases has it been useful for and how effective is it?
> Bernard Bihari, MD, as well as other physicians and researchers, have described beneficial effects of LDN on a variety of diseases:
Cancers: Other Diseases:
Bladder Cancer
Breast Cancer
Carcinoid
Colon & Rectal Cancer
Glioblastoma
Liver Cancer
Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell)
Lymphocytic Leukemia (chronic)
Lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's)
Malignant Melanoma
Multiple Myeloma
Neuroblastoma
Ovarian Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Prostate Cancer (untreated)
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Throat Cancer
Uterine Cancer
ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Alzheimer's Disease
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Behcet's Disease
Celiac Disease
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Crohn's Disease
Emphysema (COPD)
Endometriosis
Fibromyalgia
HIV/AIDS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Parkinson's Disease
Pemphigoid
Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS)
Psoriasis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sarcoidosis

Ulcerative Colitis
Wegener's Granulomatosis


How does LDN work?
> LDN boosts the immune system, activating the body's own natural defenses.
Up to the present time, the question of "What controls the immune system?" has not been present in the curricula of medical colleges and the issue has not formed a part of the received wisdom of practicing physicians. Nonetheless, a body of research over the past two decades has pointed repeatedly to one's own endorphin secretions (our internal opioids) as playing the central role in the beneficial orchestration of the immune system, and recognition of the facts is growing.

Witness these statements from a review article of medical progress in the November 13, 2003 issue of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: "Opioid-Induced Immune Modulation: .... Preclinical evidence indicates overwhelmingly that opioids alter the development, differentiation, and function of immune cells, and that both innate and adaptive systems are affected.1,2 Bone marrow progenitor cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, immature thymocytes and T cells, and B cells are all involved. The relatively recent identification of opioid-related receptors on immune cells makes it even more likely that opioids have direct effects on the immune system.3"

The brief blockade of opioid receptors between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. that is caused by taking LDN at bedtime each night is believed to produce a prolonged up-regulation of vital elements of the immune system by causing an increase in endorphin and enkephalin production. Normal volunteers who have taken LDN in this fashion have been found to have much higher levels of beta-endorphins circulating in their blood in the following days. Animal research by I. Zagon, PhD, and his colleagues has shown a marked increase in metenkephalin levels as well. [Note: Additional information for Dr. Zagon can be found at the end of this page.]

Bihari says that his patients with HIV/AIDS who regularly took LDN before the availability of HAART were generally spared any deterioration of their important helper T cells (CD4+).

In human cancer, research by Zagon over many years has demonstrated inhibition of a number of different human tumors in laboratory studies by using endorphins and low dose naltrexone. It is suggested that the increased endorphin and enkephalin levels, induced by LDN, work directly on the tumors' opioid receptors — and, perhaps, induce cancer cell death (apoptosis). In addition, it is believed that they act to increase natural killer cells and other healthy immune defenses against cancer.

In general, in people with diseases that are partially or largely triggered by a deficiency of endorphins (including cancer and autoimmune diseases), or are accelerated by a deficiency of endorphins (such as HIV/AIDS), restoration of the body's normal production of endorphins is the major therapeutic action of LDN.


LDN comes highly recommended and it is the only drug that can halt MS in its tracks. No other MS drug can do that. They promise only a 30% chance of slowing down your MS. LDN stopps it completely! Some doctors and thousands of patients think it is the best new drug in over 50 years!
