Irritable Bowel Syndrome Help in halifax
Irritable Bowel Syndrome comes from the interaction between your mind and your gut.
IBS can be compared to an orchestra with an inexperienced conductor. IBD occurs when one of the instruments has not been tuned or is not broken.
With IBS on the other hand, there nothing wrong with the tuba and brass section, it is more that their timing is off and are not playing together well.
If you are cleared for IBD, the same is true for you. Your individual organs are functioning, but they are not working with each other.
When providing help for IBS, the first step is to ensure that you are being followed by the appropriate medical team in order to know which diagnosis we are working with and that your nutritional needs are being met.
The next step would be looking at food diaries in order for you to understand the foods which may cause problems with your stomach. This may involve doing a cost-benefit analysis to understand when you want to consume or stay sway from foods which cause trouble. It may also involve helping you build motivation to eat food which work with your body.
We would also work together to build your anxiety and stress management skills as both can have an impact on your IBS symptoms. Relaxation is a mainstay for managing IBS! Together we can develop a treatment plan which can significantly help you and improve the quality of your life.
