IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
IBS belongs to a family of gastrointestinal disorders called Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). There are two types, constipative and diaorrheal, and patiens can have either one or a combination of both types. This disorder is growing more common as our diet becomes less healthy and as the stresses of modern life increases. It can be very disruptive in the lives of sufferers.
The disorder is called a syndrome because it presents with a myriad of symptoms, and the exact cause remains unknown. However, medical experts agree that it has a common aggravating factor of stress and seems to occur mostly in those having a nervous or anxious personality. This is not surprising because the digestive tract has a vast nerve conduction center that is called our "second brain." Most people notice that when they become upset it can cause churning of the stomach.
Naturopathic medicine is keenly suited to managing IBS because Albert Einstein once said that all conditions of health can be traced to components of the diet and the health of the digestive tract. The naturopath will utilize specialized tests to help determine your personal aggravating factors. We will also focus on healing the intestinal lining and supplementing the nutrients that are often deficient in person wtith digestive disorders. And because naturopathic medicine focuses on the whole person, we will work with you to learn new ways of handling stress.
