How to Heal from Irritable Bowel Disorder with Proper Nutrition and Simple Herbs

Did you realize that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. experience some kind of irritable bowel disorder? Many are debilitated by this painful condition. This article will help you learn how others have helped heal IBS with proper nutrition and natural herbs and supplements.

Suggestions:

*I can't stress enough the importance of including green foods in a healing regime. Fruits 'n Greens is a powerful green drink product that provides green foods and probiotics. It detoxifies, helps alkalize, neutralizes acids, oxygenates, adds trace minerals, amino acids, and iron, and so much more. Mix in pure water. It tastes good, not chalky. If you don't like green drinks, take a Chlorella algae capsule supplement and be sure to include sea vegetables in your diet such as arame or hijiki.

*Avoid Aspirin. Take natural pain supplements or non-aspirin pain relievers.

*Avoid antacids! Antacids can neutralize stomach acid - then how will your food be thoroughly digested?? Green drinks work well to neutralize acids. You may need to incorporate enzymes to assist in digestion.

*Diarrhea: Limit or eliminate foods that may make diarrhea worse. These include caffeine, alcohol, fatty foods, vinegar, gas-producing foods (such as beans, cabbage, and broccoli), and artificial sweeteners like Sorbitol, often used in sugarless gum and sugarless candy.

*Alkalize your system! Degenerative diseases live and proliferate in an acidic environment. Lower your intake of acidic foods during illness and incorporate alkaline foods and supplements! It takes 3-4 months to alkalize your body if you are acidic. The best way to alkalize is not necessarily through supplements, but by eating green leafy vegetables and by drinking green drinks, like Fruits 'n Greens (tasty).

*Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Don't overload with large meals. Go easy on the roughage.

*Watch your sodium intake if you're prone to constipation.
