Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Chinese medical literature indicates that every IBS patient suffers from a liver-spleen disharmony. If the liver is stagnated and the spleen is vacuous and weak, a number of other complications can arise. The main ones in IBS patients are the creation of damp turbidity, damp heat, and/or blood stasis. IBS generally is left-sided, so how could it create the liver-spleen disharmony, rather than affect the Spleen and Stomach only, due to say, food taxation.

But in IBS, the inflammation may occur anywhere across the length of the colon, even if the pain may be localized where the inflammation occurs or is the greatest, on either the right or left side. I don't believe IBS creates the disharmony, but rather is the result of the disharmony (s/s of the pattern). Hope that helps.
