is there a WAY TO MANAGE IBS?!
Question:
Answers:
LOTS of fiber and whole grains and the best multivitamin on the market is The Vitality Pack by Melaleuca. That plus their Florify and Provex will totally eliminate the problem. Or at least I have not found anyone that has tried this and not had success. I was not full blown IBS but I had colon issues. Now I can eat anything!

IBS is a condition assiciated with motility of small and large intestine. It can be a problem of low motility o excessive or an alternation of both. In general, the number one recomendation is to increase fibers in the diet since this will tend do induce motility. However, thereis a limit to this and it is possible to have an overdose of fiber. You can only benefit of the first 23g a day of fiber, anything in excess won't be of ant help. However, fiber increases gas build ups. Since one symptom of IBS is an increased sinsibility, the excess of gas build up will be very painful. So use fiber but don't over use it.
A medication that can be helpful in some cases is Zelmac (tegaserod).
