How can IBS be prevented?

Answer 1

Answer for IBS QuestionSome say the drug Paxil. AnswerBelieve it or not there is no such thing as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and I caught a specialist on that one and he said it was basically for "we don't know what causes it." A good diet helps to control cramping, diarrhea, nausea and acidity. Green leafy vegetables, grains, are great for the colon and that's what one wants when they have IBS. Drinking 8 - 8 ounces of water is a MUST! This does not include coffee, tea, juices or pop, but plain water! Exercise also helps and it's a good idea to consider Yoga, Tai Chi or other relaxation methods.

Actually, IBS has to do with irregular muscle contractions, and it is not true that it's not a real condition.

It also is not a psychiatric condition.

For people with IBS who mostly have diarrhea, Librax or Lotronex are effective.

For those IBS is mostly constipation, Zelnorm is recommended.

Another thing: many people have lactose intolerance but don't know it. Taking Lactaid tablets (available at any grocery or drug store) with dairy foods will help that.

More serious are things like ciliac disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. CHECK WITH YOUR GASTROENTEROLOGIST!

Everyone should have a colonoscopy to rule out cancer of the colon, too.

Your doctor will probably have you go through with a barium enema in order to help with diagnosis. Having had to do so, I feel for those who have to go through it. It's not pleasant, and quite honestly, if a doctor told me to go through that again, I think I'd rather die.

Answer 2

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is best controlled by MEDITATION and PRAYER Lead a well disciplined life - avoid fats, - drink as much water as you can, eat more and more of vegetarian stuff, more fibre, take isabgol with curd/yougurt/water, avoid medicines, alcohol and any drugs(even opium based even though they provide relief), exercise a little and have fruits alongwith the meal and ofcourse have more frequent meals. Make wheat/oats a regular ingredient. The cure is prayer.

Simple changes in lifestyle, diet, and stress levels can help reduce symptoms of IBS. Stress management, which includes daily exercise, counseling/support, and adequate sleep, can be a useful technique when managing IBS.
