Hi Brandi

Here are some ideas to heal yourself. Especially #3

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.
Colon Cleansing 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

Answer 2

Stress and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
For many years, it was thought that Irritable Bowel Syndrome may have been caused by stress. Today it is believed that, while stress may be a trigger (something that can make your symptoms worse) for IBS, it may not be the cause.

Foods that can trigger Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms
There are certain foods that can cause or "trigger" symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If you think you may have the condition, you may want to avoid:
Milk and dairy products
Chocolate
Alcohol
Caffeine
Soda
Fatty foods

It is not believed to be genetic/but always possible

Answer 3

I recommend all natural Optiflora. It's a two-product system which includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Patented guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines due to the encapsulation process. It will actually start treating the cause and not just the symptoms.

Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Answer 4

it sounds as if your intestinal bowel flora is out of balance.you probably need some good probiotics to help replace your natural bowel flora.it could be caused from candida from a lot of meds and also anti-biotics.check out probiotics on line to learn more.also rejuvelac which also helps restore your good bowel flora helps and can be made at home with cabbage and pure water allowed to ferment for 3 days.look up rejuvelac,take care.

Answer 5

I used Immodium AD. Now, I didn't use it while pg (ask your doctor), but it seems to work. I was told that IBS goes AWAY during pregnancy, & mine did. Talk to your doctor. I'm not sure if it's heritary??
