I came across Irritable Bowel syndrome (IBS) whilst researching Cancer.
IBS is the name given to a spectrum of digestive misery that includes abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea. This is difficult to diagnose.
It does not have a single recognised cause. IBS might result from stress, food intolerance, infection or antibiotics for another complaint. It might be disrupted gut bacteria, increased intestinal permeability or Leaky Gut Syndrome.
The conventional treatment involves drugs, such as laxatives, anti-diarrhoea medicines and antipasmodics, even antidepressants.

It contains Peppermint oil, Marshmallow Root, Inner Bark of Slippery ElmTree, Ginger Root, Chamomile, Artichoke, Fennel, Tumeric and Liquorice.
Each have their own special herbs to work in synergy with each other.
Herbs:
Peppermint Oil: an antispasmodic which relaxes the muscles in the gut, reduces Visceral Hypersensity, calms inflamation and has antimicrobal properties.
Add together, Marshmallow and Slippery Elm to soothe the digestive system.
Marshmallow : contains mucilaginous compounds to protect the gut lining, soothe irritation and inflammation.
Slippery Elm Tree bark also contains mucilage to soothe gut inflammation.
Used to treat inflamed mucous membranes of the throat and gastrointestinal tract and duodenal ulcers. It coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines.
Ginger Root: Treats gastrointestinal disorders. Balances the bowel, inhibits the muscle spasms that cause the cramps. It maintains the Gut’s barrier function, so combating leaky gut syndrome.
Soothing herbs:
Chamomile is commonly used for improving many different health conditions, including:
Artichoke is best known for it’s ability to aid the liver function and stimulate the flow of bile.
Tumeric: anti - inflammatory and antispasmodic.
Fennel: wind- relieving effects.
Curcumin: the main activating ingredient of Turmeric.
Liquorice: a natural antacid, helps relieve heartburn, indigestion, stomach ulcers and acld reflux.
Natural Health Practice IB Support Capsules developed by DR Marylin Glenville puts these together in one or two capsules per day, 30 minutes before food, with a glass of water.
I have had Chlorine poisoning from my local swimming pool so I use peppermint, marshmallow and slippery elm for a protective coating to soothe my inflammations in my throat and vocals and gut.
Reading Gerson therapy I found that I should never ever go back to swimming in Chlorinated waters and this includes the Sea. I now have Asthma.
I have recently learnt that many other swimmers have left the swimming pool because they have had my experiece.
