Q. I am 22 and have suffered from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for eight months. I have tried Western treatments, acupuncture, and cut out dairy and wheat from my diet, but nothing helps the severe bloating. What can you suggest?
A. Irritable bowel syndrome is a frequent name for a conglomerate of bizarre, unlinked symptoms. The word ‘syndrome’ refers to a collection of symptoms, which, unlike a disease, have no clearly identifiable cause. Since an actual trigger for the abdominal symptoms you and countless other people suffer is unknown, doctors usually treat it in the exact same way as a stress-related issue, offering antidepressants and drugs for symptomatic relief. My opinion is that there are various feasible causes, as listed below, and I frequently do a tongue diagnosis to discover out. Sometimes, even so, infections of the gastrointestinal tract or parasites in the gut are the real culprits.
