How to Treat IBS 7 Commonly-Prescribed
Treatments That Do NOT Cure Irritable Bowel
Syndrome

• Dr. Albert Snow
• Holistic Gastroenterologist

2

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome, often referred to as
  IBS or colitis, is a gastrointestinal disorder,
  and the recommendations for how to treat IBS run
  the gamut.

3

• Because it is a very common disease, with
  statistics showing that every one out of five
  adults suffer from IBS in the United States,
  there is a great deal of misinformation online
  about treatments for the condition.

4

• The common symptoms of the disease include
  abdominal pain, bloated stomach, heart burn and
  abdominal cramps.

5

• Some patients may have constipation while others
  may have diarrhea, fever, bleeding and weight
  loss.

6

• IBS is a disease that causes a great deal of
  discomfort and life upset.

7

• If you have one or more of these symptoms, you'll
  probably begin searching the Internet for cures
  and treatments for your condition.

8

• Most of the information that you will discover
  may help mitigate your symptoms but won't cure
  the disease, even though the treatments are
  recommended as cures.

9

• Here are 7 examples of commonly-prescribed
  treatments that you will discover as you research
  how to treat IBS that do not work to cure IBS

10

• 1. Yoga

11

• Yoga was practiced by the ancient sages of India.
  There are some specific yoga asanas to improve
  the digestion and to manage the symptoms like
  diarrhea, constipation, bloating and others.

12

• Yoga is a combination of physical and mental
  exercises. The exercises focus on deep breathing,
  de-stressing and restoring balance to all organs
  and systems of the human body.

13

• The yoga asanas for IBS include the forward bend,
  the abdominal twist, the gas-relieving pose and
  breathing exercises.

14

• While these practices may help alleviate some IBS
  symptoms, yoga is not a cure.

15

• 2. Acupuncture and acupressure

16

• These are Chinese medicinal practices that
  involve treating diseases by pricking fine
  needles or apply pressure on specific points in
  the body.

17

• Both of these procedures are effective in
  treating many diseases. An acupuncturist can help
  in relaxing muscle spasms and improve bowel
  function.

18

• While these practices may help mitigate some IBS
  symptoms, acupuncture and acupressure are not
  cures.

19

• 3. Home remedies

20

• Home remedies like taking ginger and asafoetida
  are commonly recommended for IBS.

21

• Ginger paste mixed with lemon juice and honey and
  taken after every meal is recommended to make
  sure the food you eat is digested well.

22

• Drinking gooseberry water and eating pomegranate
  seeds are other common home remedies recommended
  for how to treat IBS.

23

• While these practices may help alleviate some IBS
  symptoms, home remedies are not the cure.

24

• 4. Stress management

25

• Stress is often listed as a primary cause of IBS.
  Therefore, the recommendation to manage stress is
  to indulge yourself in a hobby that you like.

26

• Exercise regularly. Go for brisk walking or
  vigorous swimming or jogging or cycling to reduce
  stress.

27

• Sleep well. Practice yoga. While these practices
  may help reduce some IBS symptoms, stress
  management is not the cure.

28

• 5. Hypnosis

29

• A trained hypnotist helps you in relaxing and can
  help you learn how to relax tense abdominal
  muscles to avoid cramps.

30

• While these practices may help overcome some IBS
  symptoms, hypnosis is not the cure.

31

• 6. Diet

32

• Avoiding processed foods, spicy foods, fried
  foods and acidic foods is a commonly recommended
  protocol for treating IBS, as is eating a diet
  rich in fiber.

33

• Actually, the best diet for IBS is one in which
  you eat low fiber foods that won't aggravate the
  already-inflamed intestinal tissue.

34

• This means no raw fruits or vegetables, and no
  nuts, seeds, or corn until you get your IBS fixed.

35

• While these practices may help alleviate some IBS
  symptoms, a different diet is not the cure.
  Actually, when you're cured of IBS, you can eat
  whatever you like.

36

• 7. Life style modifications

37

• Typical modifications include no alcohol and
  smoking, drinking plenty of water, regular
  exercise, and getting plenty of sleep.

38

• While these are all generally good
  recommendations for enhancing your lifestyle and
  may alleviate some IBS symptoms, lifestyle
  modifications are not the cure.

39

• Here's the best way to treat your IBS --
  naturopathy. IBS is caused from antibiotics you
  have taken over your lifetime.

40

• These antibiotics have caused damage to the
  mucosal lining of your intestines. If you want to
  get rid of IBS permanently, the damaged mucosal
  lining must be rebuilt.

41

• Naturopathic treatment does wonders in rebuilding
  the mucosal lining and intestinal wall through
  ingesting natural nutritional compounds.

42

• Naturopathy also helps to reinoculate beneficial
  organisms to help rebuild your GI tract.

43

• The above commonly-recommended treatment options
  may help you manage your IBS symptoms.

44

• However, rebuilding the mucosal lining of your
  intestines is the only cure for IBS that works
  and is how to treat IBS.
