I'm looking for some suggestions on natural treatment for IBS and particularly

if you tried something that works.

 

Thanks,

ounces of limu morning and evening and I have had no problem with either

condition since I started

Cascara Sagrada Q, take 20 drops in half cup of water. It works for IBS so well.

Many people will improve on a gluten free diet.

Paula,

As a medical practitioner and a person who has dealt with IBS for much of my

life i can tell you that there is hope.

This is what i have done, and what i recommend to people in my office:

 

1. Relax! Most, if not all people with IBS have a difficult time releasing pent

up energy.

2. Never eat when stressed, tired or irritable.

3. Chew your food. Remember digestion starts in the mouth.

4. Stay away from processed foods, especially empty carbohydrates.

5. Take a good digestive enzyme after each meal, but do not become dependent on

it (always take breaks, this goes for most everything).

6. Take a good probiotic. Don't be cheap here, there are a number of products on

the market, so do your homework.

7. Drink plenty of good, clean water.

 

There are other aspects as well, but seven is a magic number so i will stop

there. You are welcome to write me off-list if you like.

Take care, Tymothy Smith, L.Ac.

You could try kefir (see : kefir_making).

IBS and what works is very individual.  What works for one person may or may not

work for another.

I've dealt with IBS for years, and at times am asymptomatic.  When I do have

troubles or symptoms I find that stress is a factor.  I also believe in drinking

plenty of water...but for me the triggers are varied:

 

stress

carrots

pineapple

ice tea

specifically: cream soda (i no longer drink soda of any kind)

dairy

 

Keeping to mostly a vegetarian diet (although I'm not a vegan) and staying

hydrated helps for me....but stress is the biggest factor for me.  Hope that

helps.
