It's a $hit $how! Special Guest IBS & Anxiety Coach Laura Martin
What a fascinating and mystical part of the human body the gut is! Isnèt it crazy to think that everything you eat and drink is processed through your gut, and then processed just like a recycling center. Whatès even more fascinating is that we really take this part of our body for granted. Study after study shows a direct link and quaralation between gut health and mental health.
As with most things in life, we seldom pay attention to whats going on, until something's not right. On tonight's episode of Flip The Script, we will be speaking with an expert on gut health & IBS.
What is IBS?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects an estimated 10-15% of the American population. That is approximately 50 million Americans. IBS is defined as recurrent abdominal pain, on average, at least 1 day/week in the last 3 months associated with altered bowel movements.
What causes IBS?
There is currently no known cause of the disease. However, genetics plays a minor role, so the disease is likely caused by nutritional and lifestyle factors. There is strong evidence that the gut microbiome dysbiosis plays a significant role in IBS. Evidence includes the overuse of antibiotics, colonoscopy (intestinal prep), and postinfectious IBS, which has been confirmed in animal models. Infections that have been associated with follow-on onset of IBS include Giardiasis, Campylobacter, and specific toxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli. However, many other types of nonspecific gastroenteritis have been associated with the downstream development of IBS symptoms.
The most likely cause of IBS is functional gut microbiome dysbiosis (dysfunction), which affects both the intestinal lining and production of neurotransmitters that influence mental health. This dysbiosis can be established with antibiotics.
Diet and lifestyle changes can help according to Web Md
Usually, with a few basic changes in diet and activities, IBS will improve over time. Here are some tips to help ease symptoms:
Avoid caffeine (in coffee, tea, and soda).
Add fiber to your diet with foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.
Drink at least three to four glasses of water per day.
Don't smoke.
Learn to relax, either by getting more exercise or by reducing stress in your life.
Limit how much milk or cheese you eat.
Eat smaller meals more often instead of big meals.
Keep a record of the foods you eat so you can figure out which foods bring on bouts of IBS.
