IBS Treatment
I've been reading all the information on IBS treatment and noticed the challenges in choosing one for you. The first thing to consider is whether you want to take medication for the rest of your life or whether you want to find something natural that will assist you?
The Medication Road
The type of medication recommended to alleviate symptoms of IBS depends on whether you are constipated or have diarrhea. When taking medication, the effect is often just temporary and there may be side effects which make your symptoms worse than they were in the first place.
You may find relief from psychotherapy and anti-depressants, especially if your symptoms are severe and you are depressed by them. However, taking anti-depressants could be a dangerous way of covering up the symptoms instead of dealing with them. Personally, I would find other methods before resorting to psychotherapy or anti-depressants.
Hypnotherapy is another treatment that might work for you. Research shows that it's working well for some people.
The More Natural Road
NUTRITION
Many people believe that certain foods irritate the bowel, and you should find out which foods irritate you most, and stop eating them. You don't always need to stop eating them forever, just for a short time until you find out what's really causing the irritation.
Another way to reduce the symptoms of IBS, is to take a high quality Nutrition Supplement that gives you all the vitamins and minerals your body requires.
OTHER TREATMENTS
Other treatments include taking herbs such as peppermint that relaxes smooth muscles in the intestines. Before taking herbs check with your doctor in case they may interact or interfere with any other medications you may be taking.
Others find a massage, yoga or meditation can prevent the symptoms from occurring.
Studies on people taking Probiotics for IBS have shown that they can decrease problems caused by IBS. However, not all studies have positive results. Probiotics are "good" bacteria that normally live in your intestines and are found in certain foods such as yogurt and in dietary supplements.Acupuncture is being used successfully by some people to relax the muscle spasms and improve bowel function.
So, the next step for you is to choose an IBS Treatment that you will assist you. I know that when you do find one, your life will change for the better.

"The researchers studied 620 people who had confirmed gastroenteritis caused by a bacterial infection. None had had IBS before, or indeed any serious bowel disorder. "
The study found that those people with IBS were "significantly more likely to have reported high levels of stress and anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms than those who did not develop the condition"
It seems that stress and anxiety can cause a lot of illness, so it's a good idea to relax and have fun every day!

If you want to get over IBS, check out the IBS Treatment Center (www.IBStreatmentcenter.com) and the Innate Health Foundation (www.InnateHealthFoundation.org). Great information about the published research and how it can be applied to find and treat the underlying causes of IBS.

My cousin, a surgeon in Alabama, has done some serious research on IBS and you might find his research paper to shed some new light on treating this condition.
