Introduction

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of those horrible conditions (for sufferers) that are considered by some to be not a ‘real disease’. The symptoms vary from patient to patient, but these symptoms are very real indeed for those experiencing them.

It can seem to sufferers that are diagnosed with IBS, that in the absence of being diagnosed with something more injurious to health, all that is left is an ‘irritable bowel’.

The great take-away, at least, from a diagnosis of IBS, is that the symptoms experienced are not indicative of something worse, as these symptoms can certainly mimic those of other diseases.

If a diagnosis of IBS is confirmed, the next obvious step is managing, alleviating, reducing or ideally eliminating the painful and discomforting symptoms.

This eBook provides some understanding of the causes and symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Even better, it describes natural solutions that have worked for others to provide ongoing relief.
