Irritable Bowel Syndrome – A permanent solution
Article by David Holland
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can quite often be caused by diet. When your body starts to develop food intolerances even if these intolerances are quite minor in nature, it is not uncommon to develop Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The symptoms can vary from person to person, but often include, bloating, stomach pains and or cramps, diarrhoea and constipation as well as the permanent feeling of needing to pass a motion.
It is often the case that the symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are caused by foods reacting badly in the gut. This can be caused by a variety of problems including, Candida Albicans, and leaky gut syndrome. Both of these illnesses are yeast/probiotic based and as such can be improved through diet & with the appropriate high quality probiotic.
For anyone who wishes to improve their irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms should start with a strict detox diet. This will remove all the common allergy reactive foods as well as food additives, preservatives, msg, alcohol etc. There are very good detox diets available online which focus on fresh vegetables, fruit, rice & pulses, plain white meats, fish & plenty of water. It is important to stick to these diets for 4-6 weeks in order to flush your body of toxins. By this time you will be noticing an improvement in your irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Once you have noticed an improvement in your health, it is then possible to start to reintroduce foodstuffs one at a time. Some foods do not cause an instant reaction in everybody, each and every one of us is truly unique and our reactions are also unique, so some foods might cause a cumulative reaction after up to 3 or 4 weeks so it is important not to add more foods back into your diet before you are sure that you can tolerate each one over time. This is a long and slow process, but it is the only cast iron method of knowing precisely what you can and cannot eat.
It will take your gut a considerable time to get over the intolerances that it has built up, but by carefully avoiding those foods and eating a well balanced diet including fresh fruit, vegetables, fibre and roughage you will notice a profound improvement that will see your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) reduce until they become a thing of the past.
The most important thing to remember about reintroducing foods is to only reintroduce one at a time, and to only do so after a reasonable interval so that you are sure of the reaction that you got.
