ABOUT IBS

IBS is a bowel syndrome that leads to pain, gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. IBS can cause a range of different effects.

Basically your digestive system is struggling to digest food and that results in these lists of symptoms:

Heartburn and stomach acid
Groin pains
Diarrhea
Sever bloating
Stomach cramps and abdominal pain
Constipation
Fatigue
Lower back pain
Shooting pain in legs
Light headiness after eating
Panic attacks and heart palpitations
Weight gain

For some it is simply a minor discomfort, but for most people affected by IBS it seriously interferes with the quality of life.

More than 80% of people who have IBS have reported that their symptoms continue to worsen and can become almost debilitating within 5 - 8 years of their first symptoms.

Unfortunately over the counter medications and prescription drugs are not very effective in easing the pain and discomfort of IBS and the side effects can often be worse than the condition itself.

Because of these factors, most people with IBS feel that there isn't any hope and simply accept the pain and discomfort that IBS causes. But you no longer have to accept bloating and pain as a normal part of your life any longer.
