May also be called mucus colitis, intestinal neurosis,
spastic bowel, spastic colon, or
spastic colitis. IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive
problem and women have it more than men. In IBS, the contractions of the digestive system become non-rhythmic which causes problems with
the normal movement of food and waste. Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome may include:
constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, flatulence, anorexia, intolerance to certain foods, and
diarrhea. Nutrients will not be absorbed properly so malnutrition occurs. For this reason, a
Multi-vitamin/herbal good supplement is needed. It is also important to get regular exercise. A bowel/colon cleansing and
restoration herbal blend with Lactobacillus acidophilus included maybe very helpful.

IBS - Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common
digestive problem seen by doctors today. It is estimated that
about 1 in every 5 adult Americans has the symptoms of IBS. Although fewer than
50% of these people seek help for their problems. Twice as
many women suffer from the condition as men. In the disease, the normally
rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive tract become
irregular and uncoordinated. This causes problems in the normal
movement of food and waste material, and causes the
accumulation of mucus and toxins in the intestine This
accumulated material sets up an obstruction of the
digestive tract, trapping both gas and stools, which in turn causes
bloating, distention, and constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome
may affect the person's whole gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth
all the way to the
colon. IBS symptoms include: constipation
and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucus in
the stools, nausea, flatulence, bloating, anorexia, and food intolerances. Pain
may often be triggered by
eating, and the pain maybe relieved by a bowel movement. Due
to the
pain, diarrhea, nausea, and sometimes severe headaches and
even vomiting, a person with lBS may fear eating. Whether or
not an individual with irritable bowel syndrome eats normally,
malnutrition may
result, as nutrients are not absorbed well. Thus, people with
IBS require as much as 30% more protein
than normal, as well as an increased amounts of vitamins, minerals, and
trace elements, which can be quickly used up by diarrhea.
There are no physical signs of disease in bowel tissue with
this disorder, and its cause or causes are not well
understood. There are research scientists who believe a virus or bacterium
is a factor. Lifestyle issues such as stress and diet are
probably common causes. The overuse of antibiotics, antacids,
or laxatives, which disturb the bacterial microflora of the
bowel, is another likely factor. Many other diseases can be
related to IBS. including candidiasis,
colon cancer, diabetes mellitus,
gallbladder disease, malabsorption disorders, pancreatic
insufficiency, ulcers, and the parasitic
infections amebiasis and giardiasis. There are over 100 different
problems related to the systemic effects of Irritable bowel syndrome
. One
disorder that is linked in about 25% of adults with lBS
is arthritis, usually peripheral arthritis, which affects the
ankles, knees, and wrists. Less frequently, the spine is
affected. lBS may also be related to skin disorders. Some people with
irritable bowel syndrome have abnormalities in the
levels of liver enzymes in their blood. Diagnosis of irritable
bowel syndrome requires ruling out disorders that can cause
similar symptoms, such as Crohn's disease,
diverticulitis, lactose
intolerance, and ulcerative
colitis. A doctor may recommend one or more of a
variety of procedures to do this, including barium enema,
colonoscopy, rectal biopsy, sigmoidoscopy, and stool
examination to check for the presence of bacteria, blood,
and/or parasites. Irritable bowel syndrome is painful, but not
serious, and most people who have it can lead active,
productive lives if they change their diets, get regular
exercise, and get the needed nutrients and supplements.
