This week we’re diving into IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
A chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, and flatulence.

Very common (More than 3 million cases per year in the US)
There is no known cause for IBS, and it is generally considered a “functional disorder,” meaning it interferes with the body’s normal activities by influencing the sensitivity of a system or by impairing the way the brain controls and regulates that system.
Treatments can help manage the condition, but no known cure per conventional medicine practices. But I disagree.
An excellent resource for IBS is Mayo Clinic. And Andrew Weill's IBS article.
My blog article, IBS-symptoms, and treatments.
Great book and cookbook, SIBO Made Simple.

In this episode, the topics I discussed are:

• The symptoms of IBS that are common and uncommon.
• Diagnosis of IBS.
• The 4 Root Causes of IBS.
• Treatment options include a Lo-FOD Map diet, IBS friendly diet, and herbal treatments.

Nutrition:
1. LO-FODmap diet.
2. Anti-inflammatory diet

Lifestyle Treatments mentioned:
1. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)
2. Acupuncture
3. Hypnosis

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) affects most women, around 50%. While some symptoms are mild, most women experience a disruption in their work, home, and relationships due to these symptoms. But this does not have to happen.

Symptoms that significantly impact a woman’s life quality include psychological symptoms (irritation, anxiety, and depressed mood) or physical symptoms (headaches, fluid retention, breast tenderness, abdominal pains, or cramps). The diagnosis of PMS occurs when a woman has persistent symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of a cycle.

Severe PMS forms may meet the Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) criteria. PMDD is characterized by emotional lability or dysregulation, which may include outbursts of anger, depressed mood, anxiety, and interference with functioning at home, school, and/or work. It affects about 8% of women with PMS.

The conventional treatment by most doctors is to treat the symptom:

–you get headaches, here is a migraine medicine.

–you have depression, here is an anti-depressant.

–you have breast tenderness and swelling; here is a diuretic.

But this does not reverse the cause of your PMS/PMDD. It just treats the symptoms.

Women do not need to suffer each month; they can get relief by looking for the underlying cause of their symptoms.
