Irritable bowels - help needed

abathy · Sep 18, 2010

Hi friends,
my husband is suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. he has had this problem for more than 5 years. he has tried allopathy, homeopathy and ayurveda. nothing helps.

do any of you know a good treatment for this? we are not even looking for a cure, but any effective treatment would be good. the major problem he faces is that he has to pass stools almost 6-7 times a day. this creates lots of issues. we are not able to go out anywhere also.

looking forward to helpful suggestions.

thanks

Hi, Learn yoga practices for IBS from a right Yoga Therapist and make it a habit to practise regularly. Find out what is wrong with his life style and bring in changes. Right from the food he eats, timing of the food, sleep cycle, exercise routine etc, etc, etc correct everything. Hope you know stress increases IBS. Asanas and meditation will definetely bring in betterment.
Riyaa.

hi,you should see to that he reduces stress and apprehension as they worsen IBS. try homeopathic med or yoga for relaxation. avoid stress. check with your doctor about mebeverine tab. he can take it twice a day
or as advised by dr.
