Ibs SyndromeIbs syndrome may be more common then you may know. When dealing with all these symptoms myself I soon discovered that I to may be suffering from this condition. My doctor had suggested it on one visit but I was not “buying” into it. How could this syndrome take hold of me? I was a practising vegetarian, a daily juicer, a water drinker , and a person who consumed a lot of raw foods to boot. I thought this irritable bowel syndrome only affected people with poor lifestyle choices and diet. But I soon discovered I was wrong!Eliminating Gluten AgainBack in the fall of last year I decided to start introducing gluten back into my diet.

On top of this I had bouts of diareahea and constipation.My symptoms got worse with certain foods. They say smoking, alcohol, and coffee are big triggers, but since I do none of the above I was getting confused why my problems still invaded my body. Of course I started to realize it was the gluten that was contributing to part of my problems forsure. For every person the symptoms may vary. But paying close attention to your body is crucial! Time For A ChangeAfter much research I immediately eliminated gluten from my diet. Learning that wheat was one of the biggest triggers as well as stress to this problem.
