Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Do you know what IBS is like? I did for years. …… not since November 2013. Thank goodness.

From the Mayo Clinic:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. IBS is a chronic condition that you will need to manage long term.

The signs and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can vary widely from person to person and often resemble those of other diseases. Among the most common are:

  • Abdominal pain or cramping
  • A bloated feeling
  • Gas
  • Diarrhea or constipation — sometimes alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea
  • Mucus in the stool

Well that certainly isn’t any fun dealing with this. I noticed that I developed this after my body went through a year of chemotherapy and other medications that went along with it. I am not sure if that is the reason why, but I do know that is when I started noticing things on a regular basis and it was getting worse over the next 5 years!

My mother also suffered from it too and she would either be on the toilet off and on all day or hadn’t been for days. I had her try what I was using and I asked her a couple of weeks later if she noticed anything different? She said, “Honestly honey, no.” I replied, “Well, you’re not telling me how you are on the toilet or not for the last 2 weeks suffering!” She said…………..Oh yeahhhhhhhhh.

It’s amazing to me when you are suffering you notice it completely, but when things are running normally and on all cylinders, you just go about your business.

Suffering this way was causing an issue at work where I would be in and out of the bathroom. It got to the point that I had to quit coffee! How horrible is that? I do love a cup of coffee a day – I’m lactose intolerant too, so the double whammy!

Anyway, what do you do when you are struggling? Changing some things in your diet I am sure can help, but if you don’t have good gut health, well that is where a lot more than IBS  can cause health issues for you.  I found something that actually worked for me and I know a lot more people it has helped with IBS where their symptoms are gone, like me.

I know, you’re probably thinking it’s some wonder drug……NO! the best part about it, it’s all natural! I’m serious, it’s really changed my life and I am in the best health ever!!!!!!!

If you suffer with IBS or even Ulceritive Colitis (UC is very serious and I’ve seen people suffer greatly, but with this product get control and quality of life back) please email me and I would be happy to get you the information on this product.  healthytransformationnation@gmail.com
