Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yet another PA person with IBS here. But I guess it's a chicken/egg situation, because I assumed the bad digestion was causing the inflammation (via incomplete nutrient absorption as well as particles penetrating the gut wall, which particles can be perceived by the immune system as a threat). So I thought that getting the IBS under control would help with the PA, and indeed, after 2 or 3 days on Psyllium husks, the PA seemed a tad better. Was it my imagination? I don't know...the trigger finger and plantar fasciitis even seemed better. Unfortunately, I developed an extensive rash, and I believe it was the psyllium husks (I don't know if that's common; perhaps I'm the only one!) so have had to discontinue it. At any rate, I'm just musing about the chicken/egg aspect of IBS/PA, because until reading your post, I hadn't event considered it might be the other way around! -sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Same thing is happening with me. I have IBS so I'm used to the latter, so the constipation is a welcome change! Hahaha! I find I have to go immediately in the morning and it's usually urgent! I started this weekend to try and follow the Optimal Diet so I'm hoping that will make a difference. I wasn't eating enough fat, and too much protein. I'm still not eating enough carbs. I LOVE the www.fitday.com food calculator. I had made a spreadsheet years ago when I was training for an adventure race that was very similar! Any advice would be appreciated! Kim Hot Diggity Dog! " Where it's all about dogs!

Have you tried the probiotics every 30 minutes - I revise the Constipation File in the Digestion Folder, and that treatment is first. If your bowels are constipated or loose probiotics will stabilize them. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Dear Kim, To stabilize your bowels take plenty of probiotics, even if it not time to add them to your program. It helps both constipation and diarrhea. Start with 5 billion total units, in split doses, per day, so buy a product that has 2 or 2.5 billion per capsule, or dump part of a capsule into another gelatin capsule. Work up to 15 billion per day, and if that doesn't help take 5 billion more for a few days. After awhile you should be able to cut back to 10 billion per day. Fitday is fabulous, isn't it?

My LGS has been lessen approx 90%, and my digestion has improved. My IBS has also lessen but I would like to know what causes IBS? ==>The cause of IBS is the same as the causes of candida in addition to candida, particularly lack of proper nutrients and consuming damaging grains, seeds, nuts and legumes that are Not properly prepared (soaked in an acid medium), too many fibres, processed foods, etc., along with a lack of good saturated fats. These foods plus too many fibres are hard on the digestive system. Meats, eggs and good saturated fats are the very easiest foods for the body to digest compared to any carbs of any kind, and good saturated fats are needed to strengthen and heal the intestines. Also when you've been consuming man-made oils and fats the body incorporates them to make cell membranes which results in flabby weak cells; healthy cell membranes need to be made out of 50% good nature-made saturated fats & oils. > > Since I am a very anxious person (however this diet has helped me alot with my anxiety) would IBS be curable for me? ==>Many members has been successful in curing their IBS on this program. That's wonderful your anxiety has decreased on this diet! Which it should because it contains important nutrients for the brain, i.e. man-made oils and fats, omega-3, oil soluble vitamins A, D & E, etc. Have you read the Depression & Anxiety article - I think it is in the Treatment Folder. > I think theres this brain and gut relation with IBS since when I feel better and get a good sleep my ibs sympotms are considerably less. So is IBS caused by stress, candida, or both? ==>I've given some causes above, but stress is always a factor in any health problems because it depresses the immune system. The first thing that happens just prior to deterioration of health is a depressed immune system. The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 > > Hi > > anyone got any good links for IBS or is there any articles on it in > the files, i've looked but couldn't find anything ==>Hi Joanne. The entire diet and supplements treat IBS very effectively, particularly because of the high nature-made fats that heal and strengthen the intestines. Carbs are very hard on the bowels because humans cannot break down fibres, and fibres damage the intestines. There are a number of articles in the Digestion Folder.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 It can be leaky gut syndrome. Many kids on the spectrum have digestive issues that are caused by food. He should do an elimination diet to see. Most common food intolerances are gluten, casein, soy, egg,and nuts. > > The doctor did tell me my son has IBS, but none of the meds helped him, I had read that the pain aspies have is like IBS, but they don't really have IBS, go figure. haha pj > > > ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ > Looking for last minute shopping deals? > Find them fast with Search. http://tools.search./newsearch/category.php?category=shopping > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Go to Thorne.com and get a bottle of their BioGest. It is digestive enzymes and bile. Thigns the body makes. I was told that I had IBS, also. HA ! A Naturopath diagnosed me with partially digested food causing an inflammatory reaction. The Naturopath was right, the GI doc wrong. Now I can eat ANYTHING again and the IBS meds did not work for me either. They actually made me feel worse. So, since kids with disorders such as ours usually have fast metabolisms it seems reasonable that they too may be only partially digesting their food. Worth a try to see if taking one with meals works for him.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Personally, I would not give anything to a child without first consulting with a pediatric gastroenterologist - not just a pediatrician - but a specialist. It is important to rule out other more serious conditions. > > > > The doctor did tell me my son has IBS, but none of the meds helped him, I had read that > the pain aspies have is like IBS, but they don't really have IBS, go figure. haha pj > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ > > Looking for last minute shopping deals? > > Find them fast with Search. > http://tools. search.. com/newsearch/ category. php?category= shopping > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I absolutely agree with you. I'm trying to figure out what the options are here and then I'll take it to a traditional doctor for his/her opinion. We've been through so many tests! Dylan has had an upper GI series (nausea), MRI of brain (migraines), CT scan of sinuses (chronic sniffing, congestion), allergy testing (three times since he was 3), etc... etc... etc... Traditional medicine just doesn't seem to be cutting it. He still has problems. I think his whole being is just sensitive to his environment. One of the evaluators from public school gave one of the best evaluations he's ever had. She observed that his behavior seemed to be influenced by both external (obvious like loud noises, bright lights, etc...) and internal (not-so-obvious) triggers. The poor kid has allergies to almost all trees, molds, pollens, dust, etc..., asthma (although he's growing out of it to some extent), eczema, migraines, reflux, and gastrointestinal problems. No wonder he has problems with his behavior at times! It's like his body is allergic to the world! He's not always having problems with everything I've listed, but frequently enough that it really interrupts his quality of life consistently. I just want to do whatever I can for him to make it better. Hate to see him suffer. We have another appointment w/ the neurologist in March for his migraines. He was getting them every day for about two weeks in December. Scared the hell out of me. Made an appt, but the soonest he could get in was MARCH. Real nice. He's been doing better with the migraines though over the past couple of months, but he still has them probably 1-2 times a week.
