Study confirms IBS improvement
Study confirms IBS improvement Dr. Maia Dodds
Irritable bowel syndrome is a debilitating and distressing
condition, which affects 10-20% of the population. IBS is
characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel function such
as constipation, diarrhea or alternating diarrhea and
constipation. Some people have occasional symptoms, which can be
aggravated by stress or food intolerances. Others experience
crippling symptoms, and struggle to maintain their quality of
life in the absence of any targeted, effective pharmaceutical
treatments. This disorder affects people of all ages and
backgrounds, including children, although women are
predominantly affected. Severe IBS can dramatically restrict
mobility, through loss of control of bowel function and severe
abdominal pain. These symptoms contribute to IBS being second
only to the common cold as the most frequent cause of
absenteeism from work and school. Despite the significant impact
on individuals and the population at large, there is no clear
established cause for IBS. Whilst medical investigations are
important to eliminate the possibility of an over-lapping
pathology such as parasites, candida, inflammatory bowel
disease, cealiacs or Crohn's disease, there is no specific
investigation which patients can test positive for in order to
confirm a diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A diagnosis of
IBS is more often a diagnosis of exclusion - if its not another
gastrointestinal condition, and it fits the symptom picture of
IBS, then it is IBS. The current accepted criteria for
diagnosing IBS is the Rome criteria (adopted in medical texts
and by the American Gastroenterological Association). Their
definition of IBS consists of: At least 12 weeks, which need not
be consecutive, in the preceding 12 months of abdominal
discomfort or pain that has two of three features: -Relieved
with defecation and/or -Onset associated with a change in
frequency of stool and/or -Onset associated with a change in
form (appearance) of stool. The following symptoms support the
diagnosis of IBS: -Abnormal bowel movement frequency (more than
three per day or less than three per week), -Abnormal stool form
(lumpy/hard or loose/water), -Abnormal stool passage (straining,
urgency, or feeling of incomplete evacuation), -Mucous passed
with stools, -Abdominal bloating or distension. There are few
effective treatments for IBS. Pharmaceutical medications include
anti-diarrheal agents and laxatives, some of which can be
harmful if used repeatedly. Significant improvements can be made
through dietary changes which can therefore reducing some
trigger factors for IBS. It is also important to practice some
stress reduction techniques such as breathing techniques, and
positive psychology, as there is a direct link between stress
and an aggravation of IBS symptoms. The most promising,
long-lasting and side-effect free results in the treatment of
IBS were based on a large clinical trial conducted at an
Australian university, and published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association in 1998. These results demonstrated
a 64-76% improvement rate on all measures of IBS such as
abdominal pain, distention and bowel habits. These results were
achieved in a double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial
conducted by gastroenterologists and doctors. The remarkable
positive results were achieved in the treatment group that
received Chinese herbal treatments. This same formula can be
purchased as pre-made capsules from select retailers, and it
offers great hope for those struggling with IBS.
