Irritable Bowel Syndrome Relief

Constipation is a common disorder that is
rampant among the American populace.

Estimates have shown that over 3 million
people have constipation annually in the
United States.
As if that were not enough,
more than 2 million also suffer from
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The causes of constipation are multifaceted.
However, there are varied methods in the
meantime that will result in some form of
relief for anyone who has got constipation.
For the purpose of this write-up, we’ll
focus a lot more on the natural home
remedies useful in constipation relief around us.

1. Drink water regularly.
At least 6 glasses of water a day
would be very great and therapeutic.
Large amounts of water aids quick
digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2. Adding roasted black gram powder
to chapatti made of wheat including
the husks too can enhance constipation relief.

3. Molasses which have high calorie
content are also very good. Beware though
as it has a strong taste and you’ll want
to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it.
All you really need is two tablespoonfuls
of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.

4. Take half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day.
This is very effective in treating and curing constipation.

5. If you have got access to mango,
take one in the morning right after brushing
before breakfast, and one at night after dinner.
Mangoes are very effective bowel movers.
There is a sure guarantee that you’ll
have to “go” at least twice before nightfall.

6. Create a mixture of Spiegel seeds and warm milk.
This is done by dipping the Spiegel seeds (5-10g)
in warm milk (200g). To this, mixture, add sugar
and you have for yourself a highly
effective treatment method.

7. If you are suffering from chronic constipation,
take a drink of figs dipped in water in the morning.
If taken in copious amounts, you’ll definitely
find yourself reaching for the next available toilet.

8. if you want instant relief from constipation,
drink water that has been kept in a copper container
and has been left overnight.
It acts as a superb constipation relief.

9. Get half a glass of water and mix
one-quarter (¼) of Epsom salts with it for
fast constipation relief.

10. Also try pouring a whole sachet of
Andrew’s Liver Salt in a glass of water sand
gulp down immediately.
This will also produce a fast constipation relief.

Anxiety Attack Symptoms - Knowing About Your Anxiety And Dealing With It    by Nicole S. Ross

It is a part of life for humans to feel anxiety on occasion. We all have, in some part of our lives, experienced worry, nervousness, fear, and concern. We feel nervous when we have to go for that big job interview, or stand in front of a group of our peers and deliver a speech, or just a simple doctors visit makes some people feel nervous. Pictures of insects and snakes can set some people off, or looking down from a tall building.

The majority of people can carry on with their lives without much difficulty and manage these types of feelings fairly well. Luckily, their lives are not disrupted by these feelings.
An estimated 15% of the population live in highly restricted ways due to their suffering of constant anxiety that severely affects their lives. Obsessive thoughts, extreme shyness, phobias, panic attacks, and even compulsive behaviors, are some of what these people experience on a daily basis. Their lives have become disrupted by the feeling of constant anxiety that dominates them.

Sadly, there are some who have become confined to their homes, unable to visit the market, drive or even work. Anxiety is much more serious and damaging than just an occasional wave of apprehension for these people.
There are different types of anxiety disorders out there that can go from minor to severe depending on the individual. A person’s overall behavior, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations are affected by an anxiety disorder. Depending on which type of anxiety disorder they have will determine the severity of it. People handle anxiety in different ways so the severity of their suffering will vary from person to person.

 A number of expert investigators during a meeting in Rome, Italy, developed
a consensus definition and criteria for IBS, known as the “Rome” criteria. 

At least 3 months of continuous or recurrent symptoms of:
   1. Abdominal pain or discomfort that is:
 a. Relieved with defecation and/or
 b. Associated with a change in frequency of stool; and/or
 c. Associated with a change in consistency of stool; and
   2.  Two or more of the following, at least on one-fourth of occasions            
or days:
 a. Altered stool frequency
 b. Altered stool form (e.g. watery/loose stools or hard stools)
 c. Altered stool passage (e.g. sensations of incomplete
    evacuation after bowel movements, straining, or urgency)
 d. Passage of mucus and/or
 e. Bloating or feeling of abdominal distention

In addition, a number of other non-colonic symptoms may be present in
patients with IBS.  These include: nausea, feeling full after eating only a
small meal, sensation of urinary urgency, incomplete emptying after
urinating, fatigue, and pain during intercourse.

IBS Symptom Journal
An IBS symptom journal can help you and your doctor figure out what triggers your IBS, and how to deal with those triggers.
Fill this out as soon as you experience symptoms. Print extra copies to have on hand.
Remember, a variety of factors can set off IBS: Certain types of food, the volume of food, stress, medicines, your menstrual cycle, and your environment.
You may find, for instance, that you tend to feel bloated after eating snacks during office meetings. Knowing what influences your eating and what causes you stress can help in developing prevention strategies.
