Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
|
Common Symptoms
|
|
These all have similar symptoms, but are not exactly the same. Many of the symptoms seen include diarrhea and conversely constipation, gas, bloating, abdominal pain. |
Common Causes
|
|
Poor diet, food allergies and sensitivities, bacterial infections and parasites. Antibiotics that kill the good with the bad bacteria often lead to growth of more bad bacteria and parasites, since the good bacteria are no longer present in large enough numbers to fight them off. Emotional stress can also cause IBS. |
Vitamins, Minerals and Other Nutritional Supplements
|
|
Vitamins A & D are important, as well as zinc and some of the B vitamins. B vitamins are also very important to combat the stress that often causes IBS. Vitamin A is used by the body to repair the cells of both the large and small intestines. Fish oil can be anti-inflammatory. Mangosteen Juice is a rich natural source of Xanthones, antioxidants which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Food Choices
|
|
Since food sensitivities are often the cause of various colon problems, you might want to try eliminating the major food allergens of dairy, corn, wheat and eggs to see it that helps. Food that are soothing on the digestive tract and full of nutrients are good, such as bananas, pumpkin, carrot, watercress and parsley. Salmon and fish oils are good because of their anti-inflammatory EFA's and high vitamin D content. Yogurt can help to replenish the body's good bacteria store. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can also sometimes help. |
Other Ideas
|
|
Drinking a lot of water, in between meals, can be helpful, as can soothing teas, like chamomile, ginger, peppermint and licorice. * This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
