Answer 3

I have had a lot of success recommending Peppermint Plus, by Enzymatic Therapy, along with probiotics. This helps dramatically to reduce cramping and diarrhea in most cases.

Hi Denis. It is important to recognize that IBS is not a diagnosis, but rather, a label for patients with bowel disorders that the doctor cannot 'explain'.

There are many potential causes of IBS types of symptoms that doctors rarely consider, and therefore, rarely evaluate. If you have been labeled with IBS and have not been tested for the following conditions, I would suggest you find a more knowledgeable doctor and get these possibilities tested.

1) Celiac Disease. This is a common condition affecting 1 person in every 100. In the U.S., doctors are so untrained in this condition that it is only diagnosed in 1 in 3500 (3%!). It is an autoimmune disease that damages the lining of the small intestine. It is caused by an allergic reaction to certain proteins called glutens/gliadins that are found in wheat, rye and barley. Some medical studies suggest that as many as 60% of patients labeled with IBS actually have undiagnosed Celiac Disease. Treatment is dietary (which is why most M.D.s lack awareness of this condition) and requires complete avoidance of glutens/gliadins.

2) Food allergies (other than glutens/gliadins) to foods such as dairy, eggs, nuts, etc.

3) Intestinal dysbiosis/bacterial overgrowth. The gut has approximately 400 different species of bacteria living in it. There are more bacteria in the gut than cells in your entire body. Use of common drugs (antibiotics, antacids and acid-inhibitors, and possibly NSAIDS like Motrin and Advil) can destroy the normal, healthy bacteria living in the gut and allow growth of toxic/pathologic organisms that can create IBS types of symptoms. These drugs can also lead to direct damage to the gut, resulting in a 'leaky gut' and this can induce allergic reactions to foods, as well as other toxic symptoms.

4) Lastly, acid-inibitors (Prilosec, Nexium, Pepcid, etc.) allow the growth of bacteria in the upper part of the digestive tract; a condition called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Medical studies show that just 2 weeks of use of these drugs causes this condition virtually 100% of the time! Bacteria growing in the small intestine can cause maldigestion, malabsorption of nutrients, flatulence, cramping, and lots of toxic metabolites that create bowel problems.

If you have not been tested and/or treated for these conditions then you have been 'labeled' and NOT DIAGNOSED!

You may need to find a qualified Nutritionist (Certified Clinical Nutritionist), Naturopathic Physician, Chiropractor, or Medical Doctor trained in Functional Medicine, to help you with these issues.

You may also need to educate yourself. I highly recommend an excellent book by Sherry Rogers, M.D. It is called: "No More Heartburn". It discusses much more than just heartburn and does an excellent job of explaining how gut disorders develop and how to properly treat them. The book is available at Amazon.com.

Best wishes and good luck.

Answer 5

Mine got a lot better after my dr put me on anti anxiety meds, which are the same as anti depressants. My dr put me on 10 mg of lexapro and it really calmed down my stomach. Usually ibs is stemmed by anxiety problems so you may want to talk to your dr about that.

Answer 6

There is treatment.
Remember, it is not one specific disease,
but syndrome of symptoms commonly seen together.
IBS is a functional description of what ails you.
Of course, go to ask this of a doctor.

But you can watch what you eat, for one.
Avoid foods that seem to irritate you.
Be sure you chew your food well.
If you are missing any molars,
go have a partial made to chew better.

Don't eat late at night.
Don't eat large meals -- goodbye to buffets.
Don't drink alcohol.

Don't just watch your health when you feel bad.

If this leads to colitis, etc, you will be sorry.

Answer 7

Go to this website: herbdoc.com and learn the basic facts of life on how you can teach your own body to throw off diseases and heal itself, you will be glad you did.

Answer 8

Why all the initials? Irritable Bowel Syndrome caused by anxiety. Bulk and fibers such as Metamucil are helpful, and antispasmotics can be given.

Answer 9

No IBS is not cureable but you can keep the symptoms under control with your doctors help.

Answer 10
