IBS..Is just a name for a syndrome The initials satnd for irritable bowel syndrome.
It took a lot of continuos antiparasitic herbs and then salt/c until the parasites let go and then they just poured out of me.
Persistence is key. one dose of Humaworm is just not enough. You have to rotate the herbs as well. Some people use the in between herbs from Humaworm. Dr. Natura is another one.
I am still doing herbs after 3 yrs and getting rid of the smaller ones. They are masters at survival. Persistence is key.
Check out the curezone forum by googling curezone + parasites. Don't give up on this,

I've successfully dealt with mine. The gut is very complicated and for the most part, unregulated from the immune system. So it is terrain warfare, areas of the gut need to be colonized by friendly bacteria. However, just supplementing with probiotics won't cut it. The type and location makes a difference as well.
The gut starts from the mouth and every junction point from there including the esophagus, past the stomach, pancreas, gall bladder, intestines.
If your liver is clogged, candida can populate the small intestines and you stop the detoxification process. The pancreas doesn't work as well and the kidneys are pushed harder to cover the short fall of the liver.
the intestines are holding way too many toxins, but the detoxification process has stopped.
It may not be for everyone, but liver flushing to me is one of the most important steps to handling IBS. Another is the use of coffee enemas. Making sure the liver is working correctly is crucial for proper digestive functioning.

I had IBS until I went gluten free.

IBS is just a 'symptom' of some disease or condition.
I had IBS as a child all the way up until college, until I finally went vegan (cutting out dairy and meat) and that made the biggest difference and the IBS went away.
If you have IBS, look into food allergies and being tested for them. Going gluten free can definitely help. I've since gone gluten free myself because I tested positive for gluten intolerance. Look into going dairy free for a while and see if that helps, etc.
But I agree with Lymetoo... it can also be a sign of a yeast issue or Lyme as well.

All the above is worth investigating.
A syndrome is just a name for a set of symptoms, so yes - the symptoms are real, but the cause is unknown.
My IBS issues (20 year history!) finally resolved when we treated intestinal dysbiosis (overgrowth of bacteria in the gut), and - yikes - treated for tapeworm.
There are so many potential causes for IBS - start with the most obvious reasons, and don't stop until you find what's causing yours.

IBS is more or less a symptom of a greater issue. I had IBS, but it resolved quickly upon changing some things in my life and diet and attacking the Lyme and most of all the yeast. I went on Dr. Natura for 3 months-afterwords my stomach problems were 80% better. It just takes time.
It wasn't easy, but it did go away. Whenever it 'coms back' I know there is something I am failing to address in my own health.

Your immune system is mostly located in the intestinal tract. It is amazing how much this area can affect your whole body. There is more Serotonin in your intestinal tract than anywhere else.
IBS does not mean a lot as far as a cause is concerned. It can be caused by any number of things.
In my case, IBS is caused by an immune system dysfunction. I do not know what causes the dysfunction. Crohn's is a more specific name for my condition.
Diet plays a large role in these conditions, although many doctors dispute this rather elementary conclusion.

Some people with IBS, Crohn's, etc do well on this diet:
I'm doing better with it plus I've gone gluten free but still do have some stomach issues. Doctor I'm seeing now thinks I have yeast overgrowth in small intestines and is treating me for it.
I plan to share more about that later on another post I started regarding the clinic where I'm getting treatment.

This remains my most serious issue. Beside the usual upset stomach, I never had a serious case of IBS until my tick exposure. My severe IBS started at the same time as the flu like symptoms, and bulls eye rash. I truly believe my IBS is directly a result of the tick exposure. To this point my LLMD has not been able to find a treatment that works. I want to see a GI doctor, but I'm afraid of the response I'll get when I tell him I have Lyme.

Don't need to tell GI doctor about Lyme. Let him do his testing on you and see what turns up. If he's not lyme literate you telling him about your lyme isn't going to help.
I told my GI doctor about lyme and he said it had nothing to do with it. Right! I told him many lymies have "IBS" or stomach issues. He said that many people have it not just lyme people.
Just let him so a colonoscopy on you and scope test and test you for h-pylori and whatever else and then go from there. That's my 2 cents worth of advice.
