IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a common condition which can cause misery to its sufferers and may severely affect the quality of their life. IBS is a functional disorder of the gut, and the disorder can vary in severity. IBS can occur at any age and usually in woman more than men.
IBS sufferers may find that their bowel movements may alternate from goat like pellets that are hard and often uncomfortable to pass to diarrhoea. They also complain of cramping and that their stomach is "tied in knots".
Other typical symptoms are:
- excess wind
- feeling sick
- indigestion
- backache
- tiredness
- fullness
- bladder problems
- bloating
- irregular bowel movements
There is no known cause of IBS. Some sufferers find their symptoms are worsened by eating, and there may be particular foods that aggravate their condition. Psychological factors such as stress can also trigger symptoms. This can be a result of anxieties, exams, relationship difficulties, or life events such as divorce, bereavement or marriage. Indeed many sufferers first develop the condition during or after a stressful period in their life.
Even though there is no specific cure for IBS, lifestyle and dietary changes may help. Food intolerance testing is a great tool to use to help people adjust their dietary habits and be more aware of what the body finds difficult to digest.
Colon Hydrotherapy is also known to help relieve IBS symptoms. Warm water is introduced to the colon so the bowel becomes relaxed and hydrated. Any hardened faecal matter that has become stuck within the bowel and possibly attached to the bowel lining is gently expelled, leaving you feeling clean, fresh and well.
Robyn Powell graduated with distinction in Colon Hydrotherapy from the nationally renowned Chi Centre in Maidenhead and is a registered member of the Global Professional Association for Colon Therapy.
