Treating the Cause of IBS Makes the Difference
Have
you ever been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or some other
digestive disorder, and tried different treatments only to become
discouraged at getting temporary relief at best?
How would you like to be rid of digestive disorders
ONCE AND FOR ALL?
There is an alternative to surgery or drug therapy.
Identify and treat the cause not just symptoms
 Irritable bowel syndrome is not a disease. Irritable bowel syndrome,
or IBS, is generally classified as a "functional"
disorder. Meaning, there are no structural abnormalities
that can be seen by endoscopy, x-ray, or blood tests to explain the symptoms of IBS. When
the colon is examined, it appears normal.
Most evaluations for IBS
only focus on the colon. At Natural Health Technologies we can provide
you with a comprehensive Functional Health Evaluation
of your entire digestive system. This clinical evaluation
helps to identify which organs of your digestive system (besides
the colon) could also be dysfunctional and thus contributing to
or causing your IBS symptoms. Additionally our
evaluation helps to identify the other potential causes,
such as allergies, food sensitivities, bacteria, yeast, and parasites.

The symptoms of
IBS are varied and can involve any number and combination of the
following: Diarrhea, intestinal cramping/spasming, constipation,
gas/flatulence, heartburn, indigestion, pain upon eating or defecating,
hemorrhoids, or anal fissures (small tears in the anus often caused
by frequent bowel movements, or, excessive straining and hard stools).
Depending on the
severity, combination, and frequency of symptoms, IBS can be a minor
annoyance, or, something that really interferes with your quality
of life. Unfortunately, the drug treatment protocols for IBS are
not very effective in the long-term and some of them have side-effects
that are often worse than the original symptoms. The good news is
there are many natural treatments for IBS that are quite effective
and work to heal your body synergistically.
It's
also thought that IBS sufferers may be particularly sensitive to
the rumbling and burbling that goes on in the bowel during digestion.
Yes, what you eat plays a very important role, too.
Unpredictability
of IBS
IBS is unpredictable. Symptoms vary and are sometimes contradictory,
such as diarrhea alternating with constipation. Symptoms can intrude
at any time so spontaneity in daily living is lost. Plans often
need to be changed. One can wake up in the morning feeling fine
and within a short time encounter abdominal cramping to the point
of being doubled over in pain and unable to function.
These
unpredictable bowel symptoms may make it next to impossible for
some to leave home. It is difficult to ease pain that may repeatedly
occur periodically throughout the day. One becomes reluctant to
eat for fear that just eating a meal will trigger symptoms all over
again. IBS has a broad and significant impact on a person's quality
of life. It does not discriminate and results in a significant toll
of human suffering and disability.
But
IBS can be debilitating and seriously compromise a person's quality
of life. Chronic and recurrent symptoms can disrupt personal and
professional activities, upset emotional well-being and limit individual
potential. Many IBS sufferers become very anxious about leaving
their homes. They are afraid to switch jobs, go to a restaurant
or have almost any type of social life because they are worried
they will not have access to the bathroom.
Irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS) is America's hidden health problem -- a chronic,
recurring condition that racks up in  excess of $25
billion in direct and indirect costs each year.
IBS affects an estimated 40 million men, women, and children --
10 to 20 percent of the U.S. population, yet less than one-half
of these people seek advice from a healthcare professional. IBS
occurs in people of all ages.
For an illness with such a high
incidence rate, it receives very little discussion and virtually
no media attention. As far as diseases go, bowel disorders are definitely
at the bottom of the list of topics for conversation.
People will quite openly discuss
breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia or brain tumors.
But get anywhere near the colon and people get very quite.
This is the result of living in a society where the word "bowel"
may scarcely be spoken and the nature of IBS symptoms make it difficult
to talk about.
Individuals are left
to cope with multiple symptoms that affect every aspect of their
lives while those around them may be unaware of the true impact,
or even existence, of the disorder. And it is easy to ignore a disorder
when those who suffer from it do so in silence.
Our Clinic has been
designed as a one stop shop, providing an in-office* functional
health evaluation of your entire digestive system to help identify
the possible cause of your IBS plus we offer a comprehensive range
of products and therapies to help you find an effective treatment
for your IBS. Whatever your requirements are, our goal is to offer
you an accessible solution.
*Sometime
outside lab tests are necessary to confirm a diagnosis.
