The term IBS is slightly misleading as the condition not only affects the bowel, but it causes fatigue, insomnia, skin problems, depression and strange conditions such as Restless Leg Syndrome.
Each person's IBS is unique to them and they will have their own personal range of symptoms, but essentially the whole problem starts in the gut. It is the effect of having ingested a diet laced with chemicals, having had antibiotics that have denuded the gut of its proper colony of protective bacteria, having drunk too much alcohol and also can be the result of having had dysentery or a particularly bad tummy bug. If we were talking about a chain of dominoes this would be the first one to fall.
The upshot of this is that instead of having a healthy gut flora that keeps the gut running sweetly, the client probably has a gut full of yeasts and pathogens that shouldn't be there. This represents the next domino to fall.
Then the yeasts damage the gut lining and people start to experience bloating, where the belly swells up after eating. This is an immune system reaction in the blood stream that circulates around the gut. This is often accompanied by pain, gas and either diarrhoea, constipation or a combination of both. Pathogens can also get into the bladder causing a frequent feeling of needing to urinate, even when there is no urine to pass.
The fourth domino would be the feeling of lethargy - which can lead to chronic fatigue diseases - that most people experience along with a host of other symptoms. The temperature regulation can go haywire, the concentration and memory are undermined, aches and pains in the joints may develop.
IBS is a nasty condition to have. But as I regularly tell my clients, it can be fixed quite easily and with all natural supplementation - no chemicals are needed.
This is the point of holistic healing. Rather than interfere or suppress symptoms, we try to find the "first domino" and fix it. It is a case of restoring the natural balance inside so that the body can do what it is so wonderfully programmed to do.
In order to help people who can't come to see me I have written an e-book - that means a book that you can dowload from the internet. It is to be found on lulu.com and the reference, if you are interested in downloading it for you or for a relative/friend is 3456126 in the books section and the title is Curing Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Christine Fadhley LicAc MBAcC.
The book guides the reader through the process of cleansing the gut, restoring the gut flora and the thorny problem of food intolerances and how to cope with them. It is written in non technical terms for ease of use.
The good news is that by going through this healing process a complete cure is possible and one's life can be totally restored. If you'd like to download a copy now - price is £6.50, please just press the button!
Case Study
Emma (age 21) couldn't eat anything without feeling nausea. She was also experiencing bloating, fatigue and other IBS symptoms.
Within a month of starting the programme she was already completely free of the nausea. I recommended she keep the programme going for at least 6 months to ensure that it won't recur.
