Irritable Bowel SyndromeHave Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
This is why you should take your well-being into your own hands
If you have IBS, what you are concerned with is handling issues such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence and/or constipation. The underlying cause is usually an intolerance towards one or more of the following ingredients: fructans and galactans, fructose, and lactose and/or sorbitol. It can also be caused by a malabsorbtion of a certain food. Which of these applies to you is what you need to discover. While there is no guarantee that you will find one or more specific trigger, the chances are high. As soon as you find it, you’ll be able to free yourself from your symptoms. The goal is for you to not get feelings in your stomach anymore unless you’re in love. Our approach is not to make your bowel less sensitive (there is no recipe), but to regulate the consumption of those things that irritate it.
