Homeopathic Treatment for IBS

• Discomfort in the abdomen
• Pain in the abdomen that can be dull or cramping
• Bloated sensation with or without passage of gas
• Alternating loose stools and constipation

The name itself suggests an “irritated bowel”. This means that there are certain factors that can functionally irritate the intestines into behaving abnormally although there is no real pathological change.

Some factors are:

• Emotional stress:Stress is responsible for an initial increase in the functions of the body,including the digestive system. Excess excitation of the intestines results in changes in bowel habits and gives rise to the symptoms of IBS. That is why it is commonly seen in people suffering from Anxiety or Depression.
• Digestive infections:Certain infections can serve as a base to irritate the intestines in such a way that even after they are cleared, the irritation persists.
• Genetics:IBS has been seen in some studies to be passed on from generation to generation.
