A new study is out and not surprisingly, IBS is on the rise.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) used to affect about 2 out
of every 10 people in the US.
Now current studies show that 3 out of 10 people in the US
and the UK suffer from IBS.
While it's one of the most common disorders diagnosed by
doctors, it's also one that they can neither adequately
explain nor suggest any truly effective remedy for.
This frustrates the bejeezus out of people with IBS. I
know--I was one of them.
But the worst part about IBS is not the rock-hard, you-
look-pregnant bloating, the alternating constipation and
diarrhea, or even the gas every time you eat...
It's the embarrassment and uncertainty.
Never knowing when an attack will occur is a very
unsettling way to live. You avoid social situations, dread
long business meetings, and even feel uptight during sex
because something "undesirable" might occur.
Not fun.
You worry every time you eat, suffer the side effects of
prescription medications that don't help your symptoms, and
pray for an answer to your misery.
If you have IBS or know someone who does, I have the
answer to your prayers.
You see, the truth is, IBS is not the mystery that doctors
claim it is.
Most doctors don't understand IBS because it's typically
the result of two things that they are not educated in (and
do not derive their income from): Diet and intestinal
flora imbalance.
Their only suggestions for IBS (antispasmodic drugs,
antacids or even antidepressants) do NOTHING to address the
underlying causes of IBS. So their patients continue to
suffer...but not their bank accounts.
Here is the REAL explanation behind IBS symptoms that you
have likely never heard before:
1) The diet component
One common cause of IBS is our typical Western diet loaded
with processed (boxed, bagged, bottled and canned) foods
with ingredients you can't pronounce, fast food, refined
carbs, soda, and indigestible meal combinations.
Your stomach can't effectively break down an onslaught of
acid-forming food combinations and other "stuff" (I won't
refer to soda or processed food as "food"). It secretes
acid continually, churns and eventually hands the "mess"
over to your small intestine as if to say, "I'm tired--you
take this crap."
When your food is not broken down like it should be when
it leaves your stomach, your intestines have a heck of a
time handling the "mess."
The result? Gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea. All
the classic IBS symptoms.
Makes sense, huh?
2) The intestinal flora angle
IBS symptoms can also be caused by what's called "SIBO."
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is when some
of the friendly bacteria from your large intestine slide up
into the small intestine.
But the beneficial bacteria in each of your intestines
serve VERY different functions and were not meant to trade
places.
Now, most of the carbohydrates that you eat are absorbed
in your small intestine with little or no gas produced.
The only exception is fiber. The small intestine ignores
fiber and it moves on to your large intestine.
The bacteria in your large intestine break down the fiber,
and when they do, gas is produced. This usually isn't a
problem because the bacteria absorb most of the gas. Any
excess is passed as normal (NOT excessive) flatulence.
But with SIBO, some of those fiber-eating bacteria from
your large intestine slide up into the small intestine. As
a result, any fiber you've eaten begins to be broken down
too soon--in your small intestine.
Your small intestine is not equipped to handle fiber and
it doesn't have the right bacteria to absorb the gas. So
this creates the familiar IBS bloating, excessive gas and
pain.
Now that you know what truly causes IBS, here's how to
stop it:
======================
How to stop all IBS suffering
======================
To create low-acid meals that your stomach can easily
digest, following my advice in the Great Taste No Pain
system is essential.
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
In the Great Taste No Pain manuals, I'll teach you exactly
what to do step by simple step. And I'll tell you why each
one is important.
If you follow this simple advice, you will feel great, if
not instantly, then certainly within a day or two. For
some, there may be a period of discomfort due to the toxins
quickly heading for the exits, but that doesn't last long.
Most of our clients with IBS report feeling relief almost
immediately. And to think the answer to your prayers is a
low, one-time cost that's FAR less than a doctor's visit or
a prescription drug makes it even sweeter.
So long, SIBO
=========
When you have a proper balance of beneficial bacteria in
both of your intestines, all your foods will be broken down
where they're supposed to be, without the horrible gas and
bloating.
Super Shield contains Bifidobacteria infantis,
Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and
Lactobacillus plantarum--all of which have been shown in
studies to vastly improve IBS symptoms.
The Bifidobacteria strains usually colonize in the large
intestine, and Lactobacillus in the small intestine.
And the 9 other medical-grade strains of beneficial
bacteria in Super Shield will help ensure that your
digestion stays smooth and efficient. That means no more
constipation and diarrhea, and better nutrient absorption.
If you're faced with the embarrassment and agony of IBS,
the answer to your prayers is right here.
You too can experience how sweet life without IBS can be.
PS: Janet is loving life without the pain and
embarrassment of IBS:

Hi Sherry,
I will not go into a lot of details, but I have had
digestion problems for many years, to the point that I had
to have a portion of my intestines removed several years
ago.
As time went on I had bouts of constipation and diarrhea.
When I told the doctors my symptoms, they advised me to
take Imodium. I was not given any advice from my doctors
regarding nutrition.
About two years ago I realized I had IBS. I was not told
that by a doctor, but after reading about it I knew that
was what my problem was, as I had all the symptoms.
I told my doctor what I thought I had. It got so bad I
was hesitant to even leave the house.
One day while researching IBS, I happened to come upon
your website and ordered your Great Taste No Pain, and then
later your article about taking probiotics. It has made a
world of difference.
I cannot tell you what a relief it has been to know I can
leave my house now and not have to worry about dashing to a
bathroom before having an accident. I am now also taking
your fish oil.

I thank you for your years of research that has helped so
many of us with this very painful and embarrassing problem.
I have shared my story with others and even bought the
program for a friend who is having problems.
