IBS With Constipation

Constipation is just one of many symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. If your constipation is related to IBS, it is not your only symptom. You could also have vomiting, pain in the abdomen, nausea, and even diarrhea alternating with the constipation. Several of these symptoms have to appear together before a doctor will give a diagnosis of IBS.

Many people think they have constipation only if they can't have a bowel movement when they want to or have a really hard time eliminating. In fact, most people should eliminate more often than they do. They eat three times a day, and the body produces waste with the food from each and every one of those meals. The ratio of meals to bowel movements should be one to one. In other words, a healthy person should void his or her bowels once after every meal. This information may come as a shock to some people.

IBS with Constipation and Other Symptoms
The cause of IBS is not officially known, but it clearly does center around the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. All the symptoms can be traced back to something going wrong with this system of digestion and elimination. The intestines form a "pipe" up to 20 feet long in which various chemical processes occur. With all the turns and loops that allow this pipe to fit inside you, is it really surprising that it gets clogged?

Getting the GI tract completely clean and letting it do its job is an obvious step in clearing up IBS symptoms. At DrNatura.com, we offer the Colonix Program, which uses psyllium fiber to sweep out the debris of past meals.
