IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Part 1 – Nutrition by Natalie

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or spastic colon is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits which are more… not associated with any abnormalities seen on routine clinical testing. It is fairly common and makes up 20–50% of visits to gastroenterologists. Lower abdominal pain, and bloating associated with alteration of bowel habits and abdominal discomfort relieved with defecation are the most frequent symptoms. IBS is highly prevalent in the Western world, but despite the advancement of many theories, no clear cause has yet been established. Stress—feeling mentally or emotionally tense, troubled, angry, or overwhelmed—may trigger symptoms in people with IBS. One study found that women with IBS are more likely to report prior physical or sexual abuse; almost half of the patients reported prior abuse. IBS is not fatal nor is it linked to the development of other serious bowel diseases. However, due to the chronic pain, discomfort, and other symptoms, work absenteeism, social phobias, and other negative quality-of-life effects can be common in more serious cases. Individuals who find a caring primary caregiver and/or sufficient self-help options should be able to develop a successful treatment program for their symptoms and lead normal lives. www.nutritionbynatalie.com http www.youtube.com

    @IndustrialKitt3n ummm ok honeybuns HOCKEY is my life ok? I mean it means more to me than anything else, whenever I am feeling down I just watch some good old hockey and with my u.c. I was sick for over a year and I was so close to actually killing myself, especially since I was on high dose of Prednizone, when Sidney crosby and kory perry scored those goals to win the gold medals I instantly felt better then than in my whole life. So what does hockey mean to me? Please respond to this.

    @kristinjardim Definitely does. Everytime I date someone, I have to tell them about how much it effects me, and some break up with me for it.
