Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
http://blog.strauss-group.com/


What is irritable bowel?
 
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or gastrointestinal discomfort is a symptom-based diagnosis characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits. These phenomena are highly common among the general population: 20%-30% are diagnosed patients, with women reporting the symptoms and seeking medical treatment three times as much as men.
 
IBS is a functional disorder unrelated to structural problems in the digestive system. It is a general title given to phenomena that have no organic explanation and are defined as “functional”. In such cases, solutions like acupuncture and dietary supplements with proven affect, like probiotics, have added value for patients.
 
What are the implications of IBS? In layman terms: over-stimulation of the intestines in response to hormonal changes, stress or food, that appear as a result of increased muscle response and a low pain threshold.
 
Contrary to what many people think, this is not a problem that “exists in our head”, nor is it a serious, life-threatening disease that signals the appearance of other serious conditions in the future. However, it certainly has a drastic affect on the quality of life of those who suffer from it.

Physical manifestations of IBS
 
Constipation is a very common symptom among those who suffer from IBS. However, some patients may suffer from diarrhea related to disturbances in GI movement, or long periods of alternating constipation and diarrhea, a phenomenon defined as “digestive system disorder”. Another common complaint is gas, which causes discomfort.
 
We all have gad between 5-15 times a day, a third of which results from swallowed air and two thirds from decomposition outputs of intestinal bacteria. Assumptions about food intolerance have not been proven yet.
 
“My tummy looks like I’m about to give birth” is a familiar and common complaint among female IBS patients, who report shame, frustration, bruised self-confidence and impaired day-to-day functioning in view of their changed appearance and feeling uncomfortable in the presence other people.

Recommended treatment methods
 
Since stress and pressure aggravate the symptoms of irritable bowel, it is recommended to relax and recognize that this disorder is not life threatening. Yoga, meditation or regular physical exercise such as long walks and swimming boost your vitality and serve as mind-relaxants. Hypnosis, for example, was found to be effective in IBS patients and abdominal bulges.
 
In terms of nutritional treatment, extensive trial and error is required here. A dietary change may be helpful, so you may want to consult a dietician and tailor a menu by examining various foods and their impact on the appearance of symptoms. Changes in lifestyle can also alleviate symptoms: try having many small meals during the day, regular exercise, and most importantly – relax.
 
Overall, a vegetable and fiber-rich diet is recommended when suffering from constipation or digestive irregularities, but since grains and dairy products can cause rejection and intolerance, you should avoid them altogether. It is recommended to limit consumption of sugars and yeasts. Studies have shown that many people suffer from sorbitol, lactose or gluten intolerance. Many other food ingredients stimulate the digestive system of IBS patients therefore an elimination test is advisable.

Gas in the digestive tract: people belonging to a group that suffers from gas should avoid foods such as beans, legumes and artificial sweeteners. Dietary fibers are important for our general wellbeing and fats balance, but they increase production of intestinal gas, which must be taken into account before consuming them.
 
Symptoms can also be relieved by suitable drug treatment, such as preparations that relax intestinal muscles, the most common of which is Colotal, usually prescribed by a GP, or Zelmak, proven to alleviate stomach bulges. Some preparation drugs are available OTC without a prescription, such as non-bulking agents (active carbon), Simetikon and probiotics.
 
Some argue that alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, biofeedback and herbs that help create a ‘calm’ digestive system, better and more relaxed digestion, reduced gas and bulging, and general relaxation of the body and mind, is the best option. Probiotics can provide effective treatment for a considerable number of IBS symptoms, compared to conventional treatments that usually target a single symptom at a time.
 
Probiotics can be found today in many dietary supplements and various yogurts. In principle, yogurt is a natural habitat of bacteria because it serves as a buffer that provides bacteria with higher survival rates.
