Bowel problemsBowel problems can result in many different symptoms and can range from mild constipation or excessive wind to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic inflammatory conditions, causing much misery, embarrassment and loss of quality of life. Causes can be complex - faulty nutrition, food intolerance, reaction to
antibiotics and steroid drugs, yeast overgrowth (Candida), or poor composition
of bowel flora. Did you know that the average bowel contains about 3 lb of
bacteria, which can be beneficial or decidedly detrimental to health?
Nutritional therapy aims to identify and treat the causes of bowel problems,
and yes, the symptoms of IBS will improve and often disappear even if they have been a problem for many years.
