IBS, Diarrhoea, Constipation & Stomach Problems

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS (also known as 'irritable colon' or 'spastic colon') is usually a term used for a minor bowel problem of which the cause is unknown. Some sufferers of IBS have mild diarrhoea while others can have brief episodes of constipation.

A common treatment for IBS is to prescribe a high fibre diet, but in some people this can make the situation worse, suggesting that they have food sensitivity - and for those having a food sensitivity test is a worthwhile investigation.

It is important for sufferers of IBS and other stomach problems to be investigated by their G.P. as up to 2% of sufferers may have a more serious condition such as bowel cancer. Once this possibility has been eliminated then it is clear that identification of your intolerant foods can be a huge step towards improving your health. This has been shown in recent investigations of the ALCAT Test where moderate improvement to total cure of IBS symptoms in 71% of those following the ALCAT Test results.

This dramatic improvement in such a high percentage of those suffering from these type of stomach problems suggests that food intolerance has a very significant part to play in diagnosis and health improvement of IBS sufferers.

The ALCAT Test can tell you very quickly exactly what foods and chemicals your system cannot tolerate, so you can get on the road to better health.
