Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is something that is often mistaken for another condition. Though Colitis and Crohn’s Disease also affects the same areas, they are not the same thing. IBS is often something that is diagnosed after all other possibilities are exhausted. It can sometimes be associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and there are some theories that suggest a strong Irritable Bowel Syndrome Candida link, but there are others that refute this.
IBS varies in degrees from person to person. Some have severe cases that greatly diminish their quality of life, whereas others just have episodes on occasion.
Those with the mild form may have some life interruption, but many times this is just a minor inconvenience. IBS is often down to abnormal activity with the muscles of the intestinal walls. Stress and eating the wrong foods are common triggers, and can lead to diarrhea or constipation, cramps, sweating, bloating, gas, pain. Having a bowel movement doesn’t always relieve the cramping and pain either.
There has yet to be a cause pinpointed for this atypical behavior in the intestines. What is known is that the spastic muscle movements will trigger a series of symptoms, and bouts can last a few hours to a few weeks.
Some believe that IBS might be triggered or even caused by the overgrowth of the Candida yeast that seems to be so prevalent. Though many have it in their systems, most with healthy immune systems and who don’t have any other conditions have no problem keeping it in check.
The body normally contains candida where it will not do any harm. However, when the immune system is compromised in anyway, Candida can grow, and begin to cause problems throughout the body. Because it is often found in the intestines, it would make sense that it might contribute to bouts of IBS in some people.
A person who suspects that they might have an Irritable Bowel Syndrome Candida problem should talk to their doctor about treatment. However, it should be noted that there are some medical professionals who do not believe Candida is the problem that many make it out to be. Some doctors may be reluctant to see a connection between the two conditions, as they do not believe Candida can cause any type of medical problem.
They might offer you other types of treatment, but when it comes to IBS, there aren’t many options. If a person really feels they have an Irritable Bowel Syndrome Candida problem they should go find another doctor for a second opinion. If a medical doctor cannot be found that will help with this, you can always try to find someone well versed in Chinese medicine to help out. Once the problems with Candida are treated, the IBS may or may not go away. If it does not, then there is another reason why it is happening.
