IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive
problem and women have it more than men. It may also be called mucus colitis, intestinal neurosis, spastic colon, or
spastic colitis. In IBS, the contractions of the digestive system become non-rhythmic which causes problems with
the normal movement of food and waste. Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome may include:
constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, flatulence, anorexia, intolerance to certain foods, and
diarrhea. Nutrients will not be absorbed properly so malnutrition occurs. For this reason, a
Multi-vitamin/herbal good supplement is needed. It is also important to get regular exercise. A bowel/colon cleansing and
restoration
herbal blend with Lactobacillus acidophilus included maybe very helpful.
