IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome is just as the name suggests, anything that irritates the gut, will cause symptoms of IBS. Symptoms like, diarrhoea, constipation, acid reflux, cramps, flatulence and bloating. IBS is caused by a change in the number and strength of contractions which push food through the digestive tract.

Now note that the whole digestive tract, from stomach to rectum is about 9 meters long.

What is IBS

If the contractions are too fast it will cause diarrhoea and if they are too slow it will cause constipation. Eat lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, limit red meat to twice per week, limit sugar, coffee and alcohol. Drink lt of water per day. You need water guys and not just one glass. Common foods that cause problems are Wheat, Dairy, Gluten, Sugar, and Alcohol.

You could start by eliminating one of these at a time to see if it has an impact on your symptoms.

You have to chew your food well before you swallow it. This tells your stomach to get ready to digest food. You will suffer later! Stress will play havoc on your digestive system no two ways about it. You may suffer from diarrhea or stomach pain. Damage control - try some meditation exercises, make sure you get at least 8 hours sleep. Eat only when rested, eat slowly and chew your food. Try taking Solo B Complex along with Solo Rhodiola, this combination is great for someone who is strung out, tired and stressed.

Magnesium is a great one to take as it is used in so many functions in the body, it is essential to someone who is stressed and will ease constipation by drawing fluid into the colon to soften the stool.
