Irritable Bowel Syndrome Relieved without DrugsMaharishi Vedic Vibration Technology, a non-medical, traditional approach to alleviating chronic disorders, has had good results in relieving irritable bowel syndrome.
General InformationIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS)--sometimes referred to as "spastic colon"--is characterized by cramps, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or both constipation and diarrhea alternately. The cause of IBS is unknown and it is not due to structural abnormalities. IBS may be exacerbated by stress or certain foods or beverages, such as alcohol, coffee, chocolate or dairy products. Most individuals are surprised to learn they are not alone with symptoms of IBS. In fact, irritable bowel syndrome affects approximately 15-20% of the general population. It is the most common disease diagnosed by gastroenterologists (doctors who specialize in medical treatment of disorders of the stomach and intestines) and one of the most common disorders seen by all physicians. Irritable bowel syndrome is not caused by structural, biochemical, or infectious abnormalities. Rather, IBS is considered a dysregulation, or abnormality of brain-bowel function. There is increased pain sensitivity and abnormal motility (increased or irregular muscular movement of the intestines). In IBS, one may alternately have diarrhea and constipation. Diarrhea comes from an increased rate of passage of stool through the colon. Constipation is the result of a decreased speed of stool passing through the colon. Spasms, which are very strong contractions, also occur in IBS--hence the name spastic colon. Each year, 2.6 million people seek treatment for symptoms related to functional gastrointestinal disorders, and visits to physicians total 3.5 million. Irritable bowel syndrome affects nearly one out of five people in the United States including children, teenagers, young adults, the middle-aged, and the elderly. The average age of onset of irritable bowel syndrome is between 20 and 29 years of age. For an effective, alternative health approach to gaining IBS relief, click here.
