100% WORKING TREATMENT for my IBS!

You say. "I have tried previously known medications for IBS, antidepressants, anciolytics, antispasoodics etc..." but have you tried LIFESTYLE? Have you changed your diet completely? 

Sounded okay...up until the pizza, coke, junk food, spicy food that you continue to eat. Would you feed your dog such a diet? No! He would probably have constipation and intermittent diarrhea (IBS) and you would then change his diet rather than having to clean up after him and see him suffer.

Hopefully, you eat well in between all the junk food and have cleared all these IBS drugs from your system. And again, hopefully these poisonous foods are a once in a while indulgence...like once a month! 

If you eat meals where your plate is colourful...as in a dinner plate that includes beets, spinach, peas, purple cabbage etc..every meal..and where breakfast is a 2 -3 fruits smoothie, and your lunch includes a rich green salad or a vegetable soup (not iceberg lettuce!) you may not need to take anything else. Food is your medicine as they say. 

I always eat healthy and try to avoid junk food. Before my IBS, I would normally eat 4 times max junk food per month, so that is nothing. During the 3 years of IBS , I totally avoided junk food …

After getting better with this treatment, I tried to test once in a while with junk food to see the extent of how better I got. This week, I have spent the whole 7 days with hamburgers, pizza and Coca-Cola during lunch and dinner to give it a 7 day test. And I totally passed the test.

I am back to my normal healthy meals made at home by me. Sorry for not being more detailed about the junk food, but that was only for testing to see how better my IBS got.

I can agree a lot with what you say in regard to keeping to IBS safe foods but as we know this just reduces the triggers/symptoms of the unknown cause of IBS. In way it makes people feel guilty that it is their own dietary habits and their own doing. It is really bad medical practice dancing around the subject because they have no idea and putting the emphasis on the patients. They are clueless. I also suspect that the hospital testing departments dont do the job properly or the equipment isnt up to the job to identify the bacterial problems.

I have said for a long time (unless you have Crohns, Celiac or some proven bowel disease) the diet is a big smokescreen in the cause of IBS. I have had the same healthy diet for years and the diet makes no difference in periods of IBS.

My stools in non IBS periods are 12inches long, very soft and ease out. When I eat, the body defecates within minutes, Good in, bad out. Compared to IBS periods the stools are irregular shapes, undigested bullets but the DIET is still the same! This stool change is a gut mobility problem and i havent figured this one out yet.

The only link I have to the cause of my IBS is food bug infections and antibotics. One or other has caused the damage to my intestines because when the IBS returns its always after gastrointeritus or antibiotic use. Clindamycin is a terrible drug often causing Dysbiosis within the gut. Refuse it people!

However, an IBS diet and avoiding junk food triggers can lessen symptoms but we know it doesnt solve it. Maybe less symptoms cause less anxiety about the pain and cramping. Pain and a misdiagnosis would make you anxious wouldnt it? But Anxiety isnt the cause either.

I`m with you on L-Glutamine because even hospitals use it after surgery on the intestines. The studies are conclusive; it is a intestinal repairer.

The probiotics, Kefir, VSL3#, Lactospore are all proven in treatment of IBS and crowd out the overgrowth in bacteria.

Slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, Hesperidin and Green tea extract are all proven intestinal repairers (things big pharma cannot patent!). I think some companies sell this blend.

I have just read about Pimentel. His diet treatment is close to a Paleo Diet. Its mainly meat proteins, eggs and low GI vegetables but absolutely no dairy, grains, or sugars/starches. But it is  an emergency diet, you can slowly come off it once the gut has rebalanced. It starves the bacteria and the energy is supplied by EFA fats - olive oils, hemp, coconut with apparently is the preferred fuel of mitochondria. Seems like the Innuit have survived 2000 years on that diet. Not many grains or starches in the ice is there?

Maybe just maybe, patient power on this forum can help to bring relief where the medical profession cannot.
