Listen To Your Body Talk

If we listen very close our body speaks to us. Our inner voice tells us when something is not right. Our body talks to us inrepparttar form of physical symptoms and reveals to us problems within through these symptoms. What we must do is askrepparttar 115537 question of what is causing these symptoms our body reveals to us and what needs to be changed to fixrepparttar 115538 underlying problems. Symptoms need to be corrected and not suppressed.

When we get a headacherepparttar 115539 first thing we do is reach for a pain reliever, and in most casesrepparttar 115540 pain reliever then takesrepparttar 115541 pain away. What we must ask is what causedrepparttar 115542 pain, which is a symptom of our body telling us of a problem. What you actually got was a temporary fix to head pain, however what causedrepparttar 115543 pain inrepparttar 115544 first place is still there.

Several years ago, I sat at my doctors office frustrated to tears because I had a chronic skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This chronic skin condition affectsrepparttar 115545 glandular areas ofrepparttar 115546 body in which causes boil type lesions that are very painful. With no known cure or cause of this condition,repparttar 115547 doctors I saw could not offer me much help. This is when I knew that I must help myself and findrepparttar 115548 reason for my condition. I listened to my body by taking a good look atrepparttar 115549 symptoms my body was using to tell me something was wrong.

This is when I really took a good look at what I was putting into my body on an every day basis. My diet consisted of fast foods and lots of sugar filled snacks. Does this sound familiar to you? If it does then you are inrepparttar 115550 same boat as I was along withrepparttar 115551 majority of others. Eventually this diet or lifestyle leads to an illness or disease.

IBS Seriously Impacts Daily Life Dr. Maia Dodds

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a crippling condition for 43% of IBS sufferers who report severe symptoms.

IBS symptoms include stomach cramping and pain, abdominal bloating and distention and either diarrhea, constipation, or any of these symptoms combined at different stages ofrepparttar day or week.

A study titled ‘IBS inrepparttar 115536 Real World' - IBS Research Findings by IFFGD, August 2002, found thatrepparttar 115537 effects of IBS can seriously effects sufferers quality of life and functionality.

Nearly half (47%) of IBS sufferers reported daily symptoms, with 43% experiencing severe symptoms. If you suffer from IBS,repparttar 115538 good news is that you are not alone, with between 10-22% ofrepparttar 115539 population being affected. The bad news is that IBS can be a seriously unpleasant and persistent condition.

Fully a third (34%) of IBS sufferers report loss of bowel control which has impacted significantly on daily life, causing frequent absences at work or school as well as missed leisure activities.

If you have had IBS for years, you would be familiar with its daily effects. As a primary health care provider, I am all too familiar withrepparttar 115540 disappointments and limitations that IBS brings to my patients lives.

If you have lived with IBS for a while, you may also be aware that there is no targeted medical treatment for IBS, only management approaches such as dietary changes and end-agents, such as laxatives and anti-diarrheal agents.

If you are unhappy with your current IBS treatment approach, again, you are not alone, with less than one-third of IBS sufferers reporting satisfaction withrepparttar 115541 drugs and remedies they use to treat their ISB. 62% of those taking prescription drugs experienced side effects, and 45% of prescription drug takers reported moderate to severe side effects.
