So what is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a digestive disorder that involves a malfunction in how your intestinal system works. It occurs due to the lack of normal movement (either too fast or too slow) of food products through your intestinal system.
So if you are experiencing frequent diarrhea, frequent constipation or a combination of both, you could be suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In addition, if you experience stomach pain, cramping, bloating and gas; then more than likely, you are suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. These episodes are triggered by normal events like eating and stress. In addition, certain medications and foods can cause an episode.
Now if you are over 50, have blood in your stool or have unexplained weight loss, fever, or your pain wakes you up at night, you need to contact your doctor TODAY. You may have a more serious problem and I highly suggest you receive medical attention!
We all experience Irritable Bowel Syndrome at some point in our lives. However, some of us get it more severely than others. Women are more frequently diagnosed than men. The most common causes include life style changes, stressful events, poor diet, drinking alcohol or carbonated drinks and smoking.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome can have a substantial impact on your life! The symptoms can disrupt your daily life and cause you to miss work or school, miss out on social activities, skip meals or make unhealthy changes to your diet and nutrition. The overall quality of life has literally gone down the toilet.
Green Health Press, our parent publisher, just released a very informative new book, Natural Cures for IBS. The book delivers an up-to-date review of effective non-pharmaceutical strategies to treat and relieve common IBS symptoms.
From diarrhea, to constipation, bloating and gas, and abdominal pain, Natural Cures, offers a good deal of common sense advice for us sufferers. We especially appreciate that we can easily find relief through foods, activities, and natural supplements commonly available to us.
GHP sells an electronic version of the book for $39.95. I asked the publisher if I could offer my blog visitors a special discount. GHP agreed but couldn't decide how much they were willing discount the retail price.
I suggested we could let folks download it for free, in return for signing up for the Green Health Press mailing list. Thankfully, they agreed, so here's a link to get your own FREE COPY of Natural Cures for IBS. I wouldn't wait; IBS relief really could be just a click away!
Here's to your good health!
