Conditioning intestinal/digestion works?!


Question: Conditioning intestinal/digestion works.?
I have a problem where the most insignificant things can cause diarrhea. For example: getting nervous/anxious, too much milk in my coffee, eating hot food and then downing cold drinks, eating yogurt, eating extremely cold watermelon. The list goes on.

Right now I take Immodium (Loperamide) whenever I get diarrhea.

Is there a medicine out there that can some how "condition" my digestion process.? (sorry, unsure of the technical terms).

Thanks so much.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Sounds like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) a condition where various triggers (foods, emotions, medication) may cause overactivity in the gut. People with IBS may have diarrhea alternating with constipation, or just one or the other, bloating, nausea etc.

It is not a disease. There are few specific treatments. Diet is important, and you need to avoid your known triggers, or get used to having diarrhea. There are a few prescriptions medications that can be used, and a specific one for IBS called Dicetal.

Taking charge of the stress in your life, getting lots of sleep and exercise are also important. Health Question & Answer

Maybe you've grown dependent on the Immodium.?

Make sure you get a steady source of good bacteria (probiotics) daily. Some studies have shown a benefit in IBS sufferers. There are OTC pills (good brands include Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls, Kyodophilus, and Culturelle), as well as yogurt with live cultures.

Keep stress under control.

Try to avoid the known triggers.

Try to get the right amount of fiber. Not too much, not too little. 25 g per day is a pretty well accepted median.Health Question & Answer

YOu might consider taking digestive enzymes prior to each meal. If your body lacks the digestive enzymes you will most definitely have problems with digestion.

I deal with a digestive problem and find that as soon as I let things get to me I am sick and sometimes in the hospital. I learned that I can control this with meditation and yoga, or balancing out the stress with restful awareness. Just try and get yourself to understand you have a delicate digestive system and need to be extra careful.Health Question & Answer
