Irritabel tyktarm

Hej

Jeg har hentet en artikel om Iritabel Tyktarm som PDF og er ved at læse den.
n`Finn siger at man kan have problemmer med det når stofskiftet er for lavt og min mave er bestemt ikke den har været.
Det er lidt sjovt at læse den. Her er en lille udsnit:

The Traditional Medical Approach

You’ve already been through this, so you could probably write this next section. But, let’s take a look at what the typical IBS patient has experienced when trying to solve the problem and then their experience with the traditional medical approach. All IBS patients seem to share a common path, from first realizing that something has changed, to finally seeking medical attention. It begins with a new pain, some stomach gurgling, a little heartburn, maybe gas and bloating that you never had before or a change in bowel habits.

You don’t really notice at first, it’s not that big of a deal. It continues, you thought it might go away, it doesn’t, so you self medicate with over the counter products. For gas and bloating, heartburn or reflux, antacids like Tagamet, Pepsid AC, Tums or Rolaids would be the patient’s first choice. It’s such a common condition that the dinnertime news programs are full of these advertisements making them the number one selling category of over the counter medications. If they don’t work, it’s off to your physician for a 4-6 minute visit with someone who’s probably not listening and a prescription for Prilosec or Nexium. Did you know that the most common side effects of Nexium are headaches, diarrhea and abdominal pain? What are they thinking?

If your complaint is diarrhea or loose bowel movements, you guzzle Imodium or Pepto Bismol. If it’s constipation, it’s Metamucil, Citrucel, Fibercon and a stool softener. If the constipation continues, it’s again off to your friendly doctor for Propulsid. Somewhere along the way the patient realizes that certain foods exacerbate the problem and they begin to avoid them or become afraid to eat. Some are afraid to leave the house and when they do, they have to know every bathroom between their home and destination.

If there’s pain involved, you try aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Bufferin, ibuprofen or other non-steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAIDS) pain relievers. NSAIDS are the second most common over the counter medication sold today. These may or may not work either and puts you in a position for your doctor to want to remove your gallbladder, since they’ve found nothing else to explain the symptoms, and as the medical profession foolishly believes, you don’t really need it anyway.

Removal of the gallbladder rarely results in any relief and in most cases, creates additional digestive complaints because you now have an inability to digest fatty foods in an efficient manner. This may actually increase pain, gas and bloating. Imagine a physician suggesting there are irrelevant organs in the human body.
