IBS affects about 15% Australians with symptoms including gas & bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea or constipation. To overcome it we must address the following underlying causes:
1. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) which is an abnormal overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Studies show that 84% of people with IBS have it, and it is relatively easy to clear.
2. Intestinal Dysbiosis is the disruption of the gut microbiome – the number and variety of micro-organisms that live in a healthy gut. Studies show that 73% of IBS sufferers also have Dysbiosis. Probiotics which modulate the gut flora can be included as one of the effective strategies here.
3. Leaky Gut is increased permeability of the intestinal barrier. This allows pathogens and partly broken down food molecules to enter the blood stream where the systemic immune system can react to them causing inflammation and pain in other parts of the body as well as fatigue and mood swings. We heal the gut using natural products specific to the purpose
4. Parasitic infections like Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis, and Giardia which are relatively common and can go undiagnosed, can trigger IBS symptoms and cause leaky gut. A stool test can identify the presence of these and then they can be targeted with treatment
5. Food Intolerance to common foods like gluten, dairy or nightshades can be a trigger for IBS symptoms.
We identify these foods as part of individualised treatment and show you how to structure your diet to avoid them. If you have symptoms of IBS call Coast Natural Health on 0408 748 532 and make an appointment to help your body today
