Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the intestines. Symptoms usually include abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. It affects women three times more often than men. In this syndrome, the gastrointestinal tract is especially sensitive to many stimuli. Stress, diet, drugs, hormones, or minor irritants may cause the gastrointestinal tract to react abnormally. Periods of stress and emotional conflict that cause depression or anxiety frequently exacerbate episodes of irritable bowel syndrome. During an episode, most of which occur during the waking hours, the contractions of the gastrointestinal tract become stronger and more frequent, and the resulting rapid transit of food and feces through the small intestine often leads to diarrhea. Crampy pain seems to result from the strong contractions of the large intestine and increased sensitivity of the pain receptors in the large intestine. A physical examination by a physician often may not reveal anything unusual in an IBS sufferer, except maybe some tenderness over the large intestine. IBS is normally only diagnosed through extensive testing which can be frustrating to the patient looking for an answer. Proper diet along with enzyme supplements can often play a part in relieving IBS. Lack
of the proper digestive enzymes adds stress to the body. This stress
usually comes in the form of: Taking supplemental enzymes to aid in the digestion of food, enhance the capability of the immune system, and help eliminate the toxins in the body can be an excellent way to relieve IBS symptoms. Some form of stress relieving activity must be sought for the IBS sufferer. The diet must also be closely monitored to not include too many starches, fats, red meat or dairy products, and include good sources of protein, fresh vegetables and some fruits. Regular physical activity is also very important to keep the gastrointestinal tract functioning normally.
