NATURAL HELP AND INFORMATION FOR IRRITABLE BOWEL:

The digestive tract breaks down your food to provide nutrients for the rest of your body. If it is not working properly you will end up feeling tired, irritable and plain rotten. 
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the major digestive complaints that people suffer with.  Symptoms include bloating, wind, pain and constipation and/or diarrhoea.  It is important to deal with these symptoms and get your digestive tract working properly again so that you can feel better

SYMPTOM: CONSTIPATION & PAIN:
Constipation is where you do not move your bowel on a daily basis.  If you eat 3 times a day then you should be eliminating at least once a day, otherwise waste products sit in your bowel, irritating it, causing the pain you feel.  The build up of basically rotten material in the bowel also allows more putrefactive bacteria to build up, which causes bloating and wind.
 
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Obviously fibre is important, have plenty of vegetables, brown rice, peas and sweet corn and lots of water to make things nice and moist and easy to move around.
