Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS generally affects people, mostly men, in their 20s & 30s. It is considered in many circles as a collection of symptoms and not a medical condition. Many sufferers look to their doctor for relief from the symptoms, and may eventually be told that “It’s all in the mind, you must learn to live with it.”
It’s considered that the primary cause of IBS is Stress NOT Food. The system has it’s own controller and is part of the Fight or Flight mechanism. There is a constant muscular action of squeeze and relax throughout, even if there is no food present. If the system works too slowly, the subject will get constipation, and if it works too quickly, then loose stools (Diahrrea) will result.
People who put their condition down to diet and are constantly experimenting with food, People who regularly attend self help groups as this sort of contact very often makes the problem worse, and People who inwardly see their situation as an excuse for attention, or a way of getting out of work.
