HEALTH ISSUES

Is there a good home treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

I suffer from IBS, and it is really starting to take it’s toll on my social and family life. It only really affects me when it’s time to leave the house (when my adrenaline levels are elevated), and it is making me miserable. I haven’t been out to eat with my hubby and kids in a couple years at least, because the “flare ups” make me miserable and shake and sweat and I can’t possibly eat. I don’t have health insurance, so a doctor’s prescription isn’t an option. Are there any supplements that I can take or “home remedies” that will help me? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I’m willing to try just about anything to get my life back!
I’ve had this problem for most of my life, but it has gotten significantly worse since I had my gallbladder removed in December of ‘04. It is much more painfuul now (to the point I feel faint).

I’ve had the same problem on and off my entire life. Do NOT drink extra coffee like the person above me said. Coffee contains tanic acid, which irritates the lining of your stomach and can cause diarrhea. You don’t get “over it” like they said. It just irritates your stomach more and more.

A natural remedy would be peppermint. You can find the essential oil of peppermint at any natural foods store. Put a few drops up to a spoonful into some herbal tea and drink it. Avoid coffee & carbonated drinks as they’re irritating. If you need caffeine to wake up in the morning, try green tea. It’s not great on a stomach but much softer on it than coffee.

Licorice (black, not red) is also a remedy for upset stomach & diarrhea in general. You can find licorice tea at most stores.

There’s a really strong natural tea that will calm you down for those moments you get anxious – it’s Valerian root, also found at natural food stores. It doesn’t smell good (my husband won’t even let me keep it in the house but I don’t think it’s THAT bad but it really does have a calming effect when drank as a hot tea.

Get Fiber One on your cereal isle and put that on top of whatever cereal you eat. Fiber balances you out – helps bind you if you have diarrhea or help you go if you can’t. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of greens for natural fiber.

I bought something called “Colon Cleanse” online for like $90, but I never used it b/c my IBS cleared up before it arrived, but I think the main ingredient in it is just fiber… I know what you’re going through – I had IBS straight for 2 years once! UG! (before I found natural remedies)
