It would be wise to address the causes of your IBS; what's aggravating your bowels. Having this knowledge will lead you to a more satisfied state of health with this condition. The bland diet is also something you may want to look into.

As a sufferer of bowel problems due to food poison, I've had success in using colloidal silver. There's some evidence to suggest IBS is caused by abnormalities in gut flora, and colloidal silver acting as an antibiotic will stop all growth in the gut. When poisoned I followed package directions for five days, decreasing dosage each day, and began feeling results towards the end of the cycle. It would also be wise to introduce peppermint into your diet as there's numerous alternative studies to suggest it supporting the digestive system.

Answer 4

I've had IBS for more than 10 years, and this is what works.  Switch to lactose-free milk, increase yogurt/kefir intake.  Also increase water (minimum of 2L per day) and increase vegetables.  Don't increase the fiber too fast because you'll hurt.  

Supplement wise:

1) L-glutamine (powder or pill 2-3 times per day, more if you're in a lot of pain) Try and find one that has crane's bill, peppermint, chamomile and or ginger.  

2) Drink a lot of "tummy tea", I love Yogi teas or natural medicinals

3) Eliminate offending food by keeping a food diary (a pain, i know, but it's the only way to find out what's making you hurt)

4)Water, water, water!

5) Stress reduction (deep breathing and positive affirmations work well for me)

Answer 5

A b u t t pl ug. It's all natural.

Answer 6

Reducing your sugar intake might perhaps help.  See item 141 (of items 1-146) in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm .

Liquid chlorophyll and pineapple both promote a healthy digestive environment and the natural antibiotics colloidal silver and garlic oil will also help.

There are lots of other natural remedies that you can find in a web search for ibs + "natural remedies".

Answer 7

Ditch the milk and dairy products i say ........ many many people find it extremely hard to digest lactose contained in milk and dairy products.

Take a calcium & vitamin D3 rich supplement perhaps in a liquid form (easiest to assimilate) to ensure you get all your calcium on a daily basis ..........and pump up your intake of fresh fish such as salmon and tuna and leafy and green vegies & fresh fruits~ the vegies & fish are rich in both calcium and protein and the fish are also rich in magnesium (antistress mineral),  EFA's~ essential fatty acids which are also fantastic for lowering blood pressure,levelling out any mood or stress levels you may have and bolstering your immunity,  and vitamin D (the vitamin D is essential for effective calcium absorption) ........♥

The calcium found in vegies and fruits has a greater impact on bone health than calcium from dairy products anyways.... a study published in The Americal Journal of clinical nutrition (2002) found that a high intake of vegies and fruits has a positive impact on bone health, but dairy did not.

Dairy products contain animal proteins, which speed the elimination of calcium from the body and make it more acidic. This can cause calcium to leach from the bones and cause problems with magnesium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle functioning and for heart health ~ known as the antistress mineral) absorption, leading to osteoporosis. In addition, we absorb only 30 percent of the calcium found in milk, compared to 40 to 70 percent of the calcium found in vegies and fruits.

pretty disturbing actually when you consider the way the milk and dairy industry pump us with their commercials to drink more milk !!

Cow's milk contains proteins that are difficult for humans to digest; when these undigested proteins enter the lower digestive system, they putrefy and cause digestive problems. Dairy products encourage the production of excess mucus in the body, burdening the respiratory, digestive and immune systems. Not surprisingly, when you ditch the milk and dairy people more often than not experience markedly fewer colds and sinus & respiratory infections.

Lactose intolerance can cause acid reflux, alternating bouts of constipation & diahorrea and will also lead to a compromised digestive system thus laying the groundwork for a body which is extremely susceptible to developing nose, throat, sinus, ear, bronchial, bladder and other infections as well....... Other symptoms of lactose intolerance are mucous in the stools, bloating and cramping, digestive troubles such as constipation, belching and burping, gassiness and wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to say it), ribbony and stringy shaped bowel movements or rabbit pellet shaped movements are all symptoms of lactose intolerance. ...........

Supplement with a multi B complex as well..... a liquid supplemen would bethe easiest for your body to assimilate ........  get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 & folic acid etc... as they work best as a group... don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath tells you to do so...........  the B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, immune and digestive functioning and will help you better deal with the every day stresses of life that we are all pretty much exposed to.

Ensure you are drinking loads of fresh filtered water on a daily basis too as the healthiest and happiest body will always be the most hydrated one ......  you'd be amazed at how being just a little dehydrated can affect your mood and energy levels .......  drink at least 2 - 3 litres of fresh filtered water on a daily basis.

Please also ensure that whichever supplement you decide to buy doesn't contain any lactose, wheat, yeast, gluten, preservatives or flavorings, sugar or yeast as none of these have any place in a good quality supplement anyways.

You have only vibrant health & vitality to gain by ditching the milk and dairy products mate ............. i sincerely do wish you the very best of health & vitality ♥
