The Irritable Bowel Syndrome, The Real Cause

Evening ZB,

One doctor made a point blank statement,

 

" IBS is primarily caused by a failure to communication between the brain

and the gut " .

 

After some study on the " 8 essential sugars " , this " failure to

communicate " would be caused by

a deficiency of these sugars.

If you could not eat and digest the foods required to provide the

essential sugars, then the failure of the digestive system could be the

cause of the IBS. Back to the basics of correcting the digestive system.

 

It sounds like a dangerous and destructive circle of events.

I don't think there is that much difference. I agree that we all have

different combinations of problems

which show up as complex symptoms.

 

The underlying body chemistry was intended to be virtually the same in

all humans. Consider the way that domestic animals are cared for. No one

tries to identify a different body chemistry situation and feed the animals

different.

 

If a farmer has 1000 cows, he feeds them the same food.

I would agree with that idea. Still, the unhealthy one should try to

correct the problem so he can eat whole wheat. That is, if he wants to do so.

Sounds like giving in and treating the symptoms, not the cause.

I looked at the link. The block telling me not to steal the

information is a " Turn OFF " .

 

In Addition,

---------------

Too Much Acid

Distressing heartburn is often the first symptom to disappear following

withdrawal of carbohydrates from the die However severe, and even if made

worse by factors like the back-flow of gastric juice into the esophagus in

hiatal hernia, the chances of success are good. If patients come back with

the complaint that the diet is no longer effective and their heartburn has

returned, a closer look usually reveals that some carbohydrates have again

crept into the diet. Or a gastrointestinal infection cam be suspected - and

treated.

--------------

 

This block sounds like a " mainstream medical " article or one that was

written by a typically trained doctor.

Tens of thousands of them exist. Even though they mean well, their mind

has been warped by their training and the limits of their practice.

 

Frankly, I don't think any such thing exists as " TOO MUCH ACID " . Of

course all foods turn into a decaying, rotten mess of ACID, unless you

process it properly with adequate hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes.

 

If you follow some of the misinformation on the internet, it will add to

your discomfort, make your ailments worse, and end your life much sooner.

 

I feel that near 90% of the research information and articles we read

are wrong.

Presently I am working with a research doctor at a major research

hospital. When he starts doing a research paper all he does is read and

digest 10,000 previous articles that are largely worthless.

 

Separating the truth from the lies is a tough job, but our health depends

on us doing just that.

 

>I really believe my running around in circles for so

>long was due to my (and those around me) overlooking

>the obvious.

 

A very wise statement. I think we still do that a lot.

 

I did not mean to sound so critical of everything. However, today I am

very suspicious of all information.

Sounds like Leaky Gut Syndrome to me. I suffered with that, but was

eventually cured. I could not tolerate fructose, corn syrup, dairy.

Briefly what that is, your gut develops holes that allow the foods

you eat to leak into your blood stream. The foods you eat at that

time then become an allergen to your body. That is why some people

can tolerate some foods & others cannot. It depends on what YOU eat

at that time. Once you heal the holes in your gut, your food

intolerances should clear up.

 

If your gut is inflamed, high fiber foods(even though they are

healthy for you) like whole grains, raw fruits & veggies will

irritate you & cause you stomach distress. Just like rubbing sand

paper on a wound. You need to heal any injuries in your gut before

you can get better. After 1 year of treatment, I can eat all real

foods. I still cannot tolerate artifical sugars(nutra sweet,

sucralose, etc), but those aren't really recognized by the body as

food anyway.

 

People who take regular doses of antibiotics(to treat acne)or anti-

inflammatory drugs(I took Advil for carpal tunnel) or contract

parasites from foods(traveling abroad), tend to develop LGS.

 

There is a permeability test available (Great Smokies Lab) that can

test for the amount of leakage. Most traditional doctors are

clueless about this syndrome. They will try to categorize you as

having IBS because there is no other explanation. One doctor told me

it was all in my head. No, it was all caused by the unhealthy

condition of my GI tract.
