Treatment of IBS | Irritable Bowel Syndrome Relief | Causes, Symptoms of IBS

Question: I have had an upset stomach for last 2 months. There is a lot of gas & frequently have to go to pass stool which is semi-solid. I travel a lot & have been having frequent wine dine (though never in excess). I got my stool tested which showed no infections. I am on Norflox & have started a light vegetarian diet since last 3 days. My worry is that how come the upset has lasted 2 months as it has never happened before.

Should I get some specific tests done?

Answer:

You are suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. It is a functional disorder of the large intestine and is a very common consequence of a hectic, urban lifestyle. Type A personalities and people who are constantly on the move are more prone.

Causes of irritable bowel syndrome:

• Erratic schedules
• No fixed meal timings
• Irregular food and diet patterns
• A diet, whose mainstay is junk and refined food
• Diet severely lacking in fibre
• Inadequate water intake
• Stress

Symptoms of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome:

• Stomach upsets characterized by pain or discomfort.
• Distention of the abdomen due to excessive flatulence.
• Altered bowel functions –diarrhoea/constipation
• Nausea
• Anxiety, irritability

Treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome:

• Your diet needs complete revamping.
• Dietary fibre promotes proper colon functioning. Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily to prevent IBS.
• Drink 2 ½ liters of water daily.
• To cure IBS, ginger is an excellent carminative, i.e. it promotes the elimination of intestinal wind and relaxes and soothes the entire intestinal tract.
• Figs are the best gastric and intestinal cleansers and good for irritated bowel treatment.
• Yoga asana – Pawanmuktasana, gives all the abdominal organs a massage. This asana, prevents bloating, gas formation, abdominal discomfort and improves bowel motility. This asana should be done everyday.
• Stress-busting is as crucial and vital as dietary modifications. Learn to stay calm and not get overly affected by stressors.
