Natural solutions for irritable bowel syndrome
by Jonathan Landsman
(NaturalNews) Technically speaking (and almost laughable), conventional medicine does not describe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as a disease, instead calling it 'a problem caused by changes in how the GI tract works'. In fact, sadly, government-run health agencies do not consider IBS a serious health condition.
But, in truth, IBS contributes to brain fog, metabolic disease, chronic fatigue plus a host of other degenerative diseases. Statistically speaking, IBS affects 10 -15% of the population and, according to conventional health experts 'there is no cure'. Well, that's a lie and natural solutions are available.
On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, you'll learn about natural health solutions for IBS. Visit: http://www.naturalhealth365.com and enter your email address for show details + a FREE gift!
How do I know if I'm suffering from irritable bowel syndrome?
For starters, if you suffer from excessive bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea - you've got IBS. Generally speaking, people that crave sweets, breads, pasta, caffeine and alcohol run the risk of developing IBS. Also, if you have a history of antibiotic usage; unexplained joint pain, headaches and depression - you probably have IBS.
Normally speaking, our gut is loaded with trillions of microscopic organisms that create a natural ecosystem called the "gut flora". When this inner terrain gets out of balance from consuming too many toxins and being malnourished - chronic gut inflammation will threaten your health.
The signs of IBS include inability to concentrate; a loss of appetite, low energy and a frequent tendency to get sick due to a compromised immune system. Antibiotic usage, chlorinated tap water, factory-farmed meats, heavily-processed food and drinks, vaccine toxins and GMOs are the main reasons why the digestive system breakdown.
To solve this problem and eliminate health issues - focus on rebuilding the gut!
Great ways to help re-build the strength of your digestive system
Let's start with the obvious - don't allow yourself to indulge in overly-processed, junk food which is loaded with chemical preservatives and lacking in nutrients. Be sure to avoid genetically-engineered corn, soy and other by-products of GMOs such as, alcohol and high fructose corn syrup. Simply put, if you read food labels and can't pronounce a word on the package - don't buy it!
Eat, as much as you can, a whole foods diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Be sure to include small amounts (every day) of fermented foods and drinks like, sauerkraut or kombucha. Load up on lots of raw (or lightly steamed) veggies, small amounts of fruit and freshly-prepared, organic juices and smoothies. Naturally, it's a great idea to chew your food - very well - because digestion starts in your mouth.
For those suffering with serious digestive issues - you may need to take extra probiotic, digestive and metabolic enzyme supplements. Always work with a trusted, healthcare provider to help guide you toward success.
