The Truth About What IBS is Not

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not a syndrome.

  • IBS is not an auto-immune disease. In fact, no inflammatory bowel condition is present, including Crohn’s Disease.

  • IBS is not just going to go away. There is no such thing as remission. You may be able to dampen the symptoms somewhat for a while by juggling foods. Then because you have gone so long without the proper care it will bounce back on you with a vengeance. This is especially true if you take the route of Prednisone or immune suppressant meds.

  • IBS left untreated is called Colitis.

  • IBS is not going to be fixed by your doctor.

  • IBS is not caused by a poor diet and is not going to be fixed by changing your diet. You can’t eat your way into or out of IBS.

  • You can’t heal IBS by taking bowel cleansers or colonics. They are the opposite of what is needed. They will make it worse!

  • IBS is not something you have to live with.
