ALMOST everyone experiences an occasional bout of abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhoea or constipation. However, if you are having either of these problems very frequently or if it has become chronic, chances are that you may be suffering from the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is one of the most common gastro-intestinal disorders and although it is not a serious one, its impact on one’s life can be tremendous. Chronic and recurring symptoms of IBS can disrupt personal and professional activities, upset emotional well-being and limit individual potential.
IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is not a disease. It is a functional disorder, which means that the bowel (large intestine) is not functioning properly, though physically there is nothing wrong with it. With IBS, the nerves and muscles in the bowel are extra-sensitive. For example, the muscles may contract too much when you eat. These contractions can cause cramping and diarrhoea during or shortly after a meal.
The exact cause of IBS is not known. Symptoms appear to result from a disturbance in the interaction between the gut, the brain, and the nervous system that alters the regulation of the bowel motor or the sensory function. IBS is not caused by stress. However, because of the connection between the brain and the gut, symptoms can be exacerbated or triggered by stress. Certain things like milk and caffeine are also known to have a disturbing effect on IBS patients.
IBS is characterised by abdominal pain or discomfort and the abnormal bowel function, which may include chronic diarrhoea, chronic constipation, or an alternating pattern of both. Patients may feel the sensation of not being able to fully empty their bowels. Other symptoms may include gas formation, bloating as well as nausea.
IBS is a spectrum disorder, which means that there can be a great variety of symptoms and also that their intensity can range from very mild to severe. Primarily, homeopathy is a method where the individual symptoms of patients are given more preference than the labels of the disease and are matched with those of the drug. Thus, treating diseases like IBS with homeopathy in an effective manner becomes easier. However, it may take a while before appreciable results are achieved. One must keep in mind that the goal is not to have a temporary relief but a permanent one.
Homeopathic medicines like Nux Vomica, Colocynth, Aloes, Sulphur, Carbo Veg, China and Lycopodium are among the very effective ones that are often employed by experts for treating irritable bowel syndrome. However, please make sure that such conditions are not treated without the help of a professional homoeopath
Managing IBS
Experiment with fibre
When you have IBS, fibre can be a mixed blessing. Although it helps reduce constipation, it can also lead to diarrhoea, gas formation and cramping worse. The best approach is to gradually increase the amount of fibre in your diet over a period of weeks.
Avoid problem foods
If certain foods make your symptoms worse, don’t eat them. Common culprits include alcohol, chocolate and caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas.
Eat at regular times
Don’t skip meals and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate the bowel function.
Beware of dairy products
They usually are the biggest culprits in IBS. If you’re lactose-intolerant, try substituting yoghurt for milk.
Exercise regularly
Exercise helps relieve depression and stress, stimulates normal contractions of your intestines and can help you feel better

Dear Dr i have been suffering from IBS , gastro problems,acidity,less appetite, constipation, heavyness . PLEASE suggest me medicine.Sh
I am IBS patient for the last 40-50 years. My age is 65 yrs at present. I was on taking Stelbid 1 mg and it was helping my problem a lot but since Stelbid is not available throughout the country, my problem has aggravated. I tried other allopathic medicines but instead of helping me it aggravates my problem and there use to be whole abdomen discomfort and loose motions 5 to 6 to 7 times and it makes me physically weak in health. I am totally on restricted diet avoiding all unnecessary items. There is acute depression and anxiety in my mind. I request you to help me in treating my disease. There is no blood loss and no weight loss so far.
I don’t know it’s ibs or something else. But my symptoms indicate that is ibs. My Dr. also suspect that. I have frequent loose stools. Cramp in abdomen. Hemoglobin level is fine and no blood in stool. So my Dr says that it’s may be colitis or ibs. He Prescrib me medicine for one month. If persist I have to go for some other test and colonoscopy. I am 34 years female. What do you think about my symptoms?
