Help for sufferers of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) advice on symptoms,Treatment, medications, diet and productsHi,My name is Dawn and i have been a sufferer of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome ) for the past 23 years ever since i contracted a very bad case of Gastroentiritis which lasted a whole 4 weeks!Since then i have paid many visits to my Doctor who was unsympathetic to my cause, so over the years i decided to take it upon myself to find out all i could about the condition, Treatment, Symptoms, diet, medications, and any Help that could ease my pain.I have tried methods such as Colonic, Hypnotherapy, Blood Tests for intolerances to food, Antidepressants, Antispasmodic Medicines, IBS Probiotics, even a phsycologist to see if it was stress related, if it was out there i tried it!Keeping a diary of my eating habits and what foods upset my stomach is a good way of limiting the condition, theres nothing worse than eating something which doesn't agree, then watch your tummy swelling to the size of a 6 month pregnant woman, not to mention the embarrassment of having trapped wind all day.Bloating can leave you feeling fatigued, stressed, in some discomfort and leave you feeling quite depressed sometimes.So i have set up ibshelper.com for fellow sufferers in the hope that they can find something that helps them cope with everyday life with irritable bowel syndrome.i sincerely hope you find this site informative and gain some knowledge of this condition if you have just developed IBS, or have lived with it for years. And feel free to check out the IBS Treatment and Products for solutions, Medications and other alternative treatments.
