Do you feel that tummy troubles are taking over your life?
Approximately 1 in 5 Australians live daily with medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and suffer with symptoms of bloating, constipation, diarrhoea and abdominal cramping. These uncomfortable and sometimes awkward symptoms may be preventing you from a variety of activities and keeping you from living the full and active life you deserve.
Fortunately, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Research has shown that a certain strain of probiotic can help to restore digestive balance and plays an important role in reducing symptoms of IBS. In combination with some simple dietary changes, this probiotic supplement will help you manage your symptoms of IBS.
Tell Your Bowels Who’s Boss
If you feel like your bowel habits dictate your social calendar, Ethical Nutrients has a solution to help reduce the bad bloating, ghastly gas, disturbing diarrhoea and continuing constipation associated with medically diagnosed IBS. Having the right balance of healthy bacterial flora in your digestive system can help you maintain normal bowel function.
Ethical Nutrients IBS Support contains Lactobacillus plantarum(299v), an exclusive strain of probiotic that has been highly researched and found to be beneficial in reducing the symptoms of IBS such as bloating, pain, flatulence and constipation, as well as helping to promote healthy digestive function.
Avoiding Foods That Irritate the Bowel
Many IBS sufferers have observed that avoiding certain foods in their diet can significantly reduce their symptoms of IBS. Specific types of carbohydrates found in many common foods have been shown to exacerbate the symptoms of IBS; and individuals with IBS who avoid these foods can greatly reduce symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.
FODMAPS – also known as Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, are hard to digest carbohydrates that can exacerbate symptoms of IBS. FODMAPS are a type of carbohydrate that are not broken down effectively during digestion and are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. When these partially digested foods enter the large intestine, they begin to ferment, worsening IBS symptoms such as bloating and pain. Water retention in the gut may also cause changes in bowel motions and result in diarrhoea.
Introducing the Ethical Nutrients IBS Diet
The Ethical Nutrients IBS Diet is ideal for people with IBS to assist in managing their condition. It eliminates sources of FODMAPS from the diet, thereby reducing the intake of easily fermented carbohydrates that can exacerbate digestive discomfort. FODMAPS are found in many commonly consumed foods such as grains, vegetables, milk, fruit, legumes and sweetened products.
The Ethical Nutrients IBS Diet is based on foods that are low in FODMAPS and can be safely enjoyed without aggravating digestive symptoms. See the Ethical Nutrients IBS Diet for a list of foods to enjoy and avoid for best results. Research has shown that by avoiding foods that are high in FODMAPS, three out of four individuals with medically diagnosed IBS experienced a great reduction in their symptoms.
