| IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME Welcome to www.nutritionhelp.com. Did you know that Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can often be helped by Nutritional Therapy? In my clinical practice, I have seen it happen time and time again - and now you can receive tailor-made advice online from www.nutritionhelp.com! My name is Erica White. I’m Nutritional Director of Nutritionhelp, and also a Fellow of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and an Honorary Fellow of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy. I have now retired from clinical practice, but we have set up an online Questionnaire and Report system which can give you all the advice you need, with an optional facility to have contact with one of our associate team of qualified Nutritionists. I’m going to answer a few questions about IBS which I hope might be helpful to you. Q. What exactly is Irritable Bowel Syndrome? It’s a condition which is normally characterised by alternating constipation and diarrhoea, often accompanied by painful abdominal cramps, intestinal gas and bloating. However, I’ve found that almost any type of chronic bowel upset might be given a medical diagnosis of IBS. Q. What causes it to happen? There’s a variety of possible causes, including inefficient digestion, unsuspected food intolerances, an invasion of gut parasites or a deficiency of friendly bacteria in the intestines. All of these situations can be helped through appropriate Nutritional Therapy. However, when I was in clinical practice, I found that a very large number of people who had been diagnosed with IBS were actually suffering from yeast infection, or an overgrowth of Candida albicans. When their Candida was brought under control, so were their symptoms of IBS. I therefore came to see Candida as one of the main causes of IBS – and as Candida is reckoned to affect one person in three in the Western world, it’s not surprising that so many people have IBS. Q. What has caused Candida to be such a wide-spread problem? Partly it’s our present-day poor diet which includes lots of sugar and stimulants and also alcohol. Other factors include medications such as antibiotics and some painkillers; steroids and hormonal treatments including the contraceptive pill; and the sort of stressful lifestyle which is experienced by so many people today. Q. So what can be done to bring Candida under control? It’s necessary to follow an anti-candida four-point plan which involves a carefully-controlled diet, appropriate vitamins and minerals to strengthen the immune system (preferably a tailor-made programme), natural anti-fungal supplements to destroy the candida, and probiotic supplements to re-establish a healthy colony of friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Q. What would you say to someone who has been given a medical diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome? If you haven’t considered it before, you may well find that appropriate Nutritional Therapy could be very helpful. Of course, we can make no claims for you as an individual, but we can say that many people have seen significant improvement. Maybe you would like to register for an online report from www.nutritionhelp.com. A detailed Questionnaire enables you to be provided with personalised advice based on my clinical experience over nearly twenty years. In addition, it will tell you about various optional supplements which can help to relieve your symptoms while you are tackling the root cause. For just £47 you will receive an extremely detailed report giving tailor-made nutritional advice to help you on your road to recovery.
