Green Aura, the dr said something very important about IBS. I worked in pharmaceutical/medical research for years and never caught it (there should be a smiley face kicking itself in the head here).
IBS means Irritable Bowel Syndrome. By definition a syndrome is a collection of symptoms nothing more, it is not a cause, just a description.
With that in mind, when we told him that my husband had been diagnosed with IBS he said, "I guess you noticed that before you paid the bill." He elaborated, "IBS is BS (bull shit, for the more cultured). It is what doctors tell patients so they will shut up and empty the room. IBS is what you tell patients when you don't know what is wrong." I am quoting directly, except the ().
White flour may be bothering you because the wheat is literally bleached. That is one of the most common sensitivities. Gee, I wonder why? But does a bag of flour say 'chlorine bleach' on the label? It doesn't here in the US. Also, our white bread has one of the highest concentrations of chemical additives in commonly consumed items. It might be different for you, I know French food laws are very stringent about what additives are even acceptable to use, in comparison to ours anyway.
I guess technically it would be in your head, that is where your brain is afterall.
(thanks)
I was told that it was a lack of Salt in my diet which I'd cut back on due to blood pressure and family history of heart disease. Anyhow I've never found a drug or supplement that worked and Ive tried quite a few (I am awake now as legs want to be on the move!)
"why was'nt i told this i said" "well it dosent usually happen but you must be in the small percentage" i know i digressed a bit but when i had the RLS i really could'nt cope with it so i sympathise with anyone who has it
