Normal bowel movement frequency is 1-2 times daily. Diarrhea is
frequent, loose stool with greater volume than usual. In most
cases, diarrhea lasts only a couple of days. When diarrhea lasts
longer or if there is blood in the stool, it can be a sign of a
serious disorder, such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable
bowel syndrome or
ulcerative
colitis. Diarrhea results from severe
dilation of the intestinal tract. This is the exact opposite of
constipation. Chronic diarrhea can be caused by many factors. GI
tract infections like
typhoid or salmonella, parasites such as amoeba hystolytica
or giardia. Excess sugar in the diet can cause diarrhea.
When intestinal bleeding is associated with
chronic diarrhea it is a sign of a more serious illness such as
ulcerative
colitis or
colon
cancer.
What is irritable bowel syndrome IBS?
Irritable bowel syndrome IBS is a common disorder that affects
the colon. Irritable bowel syndrome IBS symptoms include
cramping, abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea or constipation. Most
IBS patients know that it is directly related to their diet but
do not know exactly how to cure it. Irritable bowel syndrome
doesn't cause colon lining inflammation.
What is inflammatory bowel disease IBD?
Inflammatory bowel disease is a disorder that results from
having chronic diarrhea. Inflammatory bowel disease symptoms include
cramping, abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea or constipation. Most
IBD patients know that it is directly related to their diet but
do not know exactly how to cure it. Inflammatory bowel disease causes colon lining inflammation
resulting in lowered immunity and increased susceptibility to
other infections and diseases outside the GI tract.
Many expensive tests have to be performed
(stool, blood, scan, endoscopy) to find the cause of diarrhea.
If it is caused by a bacterial or parasitic infection, it can be
treated with antibiotics. If a virus is causing diarrhea,
antibiotics will not help. Only pain killers and
anti-inflammatory medications are used if the underlying cause
is not isolated, such as the case for irritable bowel syndrome
and ulcerative colitis.
Treatment to replace fluids (Orally or
intravenously)
According to
the
natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction =
yang), diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome
and inflammatory bowel disease are all expanded states
(GI tract dilated, inflammation, etc.). Diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome
and inflammatory bowel disease are all triggered by a passing illness or crisis. But
the underlying cause, like
most
illnesses, is
the accumulation of
faulty
eating habits that
violate the
natural law of duality and produce imbalance and lowered immunity.
Diarrhea is an illness of the second stage among
the seven stages of
illness. Irritable bowel syndrome is an illness of the
third stage and inflammatory bowel disease is an illness of the
fourth stage. Diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and
inflammatory bowel disease are all directly related to the liver, so the kidneys-lungs should also be considered in natural treatment. Kidneys-lungs are mother-father of the liver in
the five elements theory of natural medicine.
Diarrhea and irritable
bowel syndrome natural
alternative treatment and cure
Food is best natural treatment. Because food goes to the GI
tract first, the fact that food is best medicine is nowhere more apparent than in GI tract
diseases like diarrhea, IBS and IBD. Foods affect diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome
and inflammatory bowel disease positively or adversely depending on their type. Foods that
restore natural balance, cure diarrhea, irritable bowel
syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease naturally without
side effects.
All diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel
disease are
expansive, and foods that cause expansion (Sugar, parsley,
lettuce and
vitamin C,
etc.) will make diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and
inflammatory bowel disease worse
especially if bleeding is involved.
Foods that cause contraction will naturally cure diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome
and inflammatory bowel disease and
restore bowel movements and bowel lining to normal.
With the right diet, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and
inflammatory bowel disease can be cured
easily and completely.
It
takes from a couple of days to a couple of weeks to cure
diarrhea
depending on its severity and cause. It takes from a
week to a month to cure irritable bowel
syndrome. And it takes from a couple of weeks to about three
months to cure inflammatory bowel disease.
In the page
natural antibiotics
in this website,
you will find a detailed
comparison between chemical and natural
antibiotics. Some foods are natural antibiotics that are
effective against all disease-causing microbes
(bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungus including all microbes
that can cause diarrhea). These natural antibiotics are
inexpensive, available everywherewithout a prescription and have
no
side effects.
The
seven conditions of good health include mental well being.
Chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory
bowel disease often result in
mental troubles like
psychological distress,
fatigue and sometimes
depression and reclusiveness.
Even the smallest chores seem like hard work to a sufferer. Improvement in
diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome results naturally in psychological improvement and
increased vitality and self confidence. Becoming less
preoccupied or overwhelmed with hourly and daily physical
symptoms. This allows time to
relax or meditate and be
more hopeful and productive.
If you have diarrhea, irritable bowel
syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease and tried macrobiotics,
particularly
the #7 diet, but it did not work for you, then the foods you
selected are not appropriate for your diarrhea, irritable bowel
syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.
Macrobiotics
principles, used correctly, help
select the
foods to eat and
the foods to avoid (some permanently and some temporarily) for treating
and curing diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome or irritable
bowel disease. Yin foods for Yang illnesses, Yang foods for Yin illnesses.
Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet for
chronic diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory
bowel disease, there is no need for
vitamin and mineral supplements. Some
supplements
can aggravate chronic diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome and
inflammatory bowel disease when taken randomly.
Vitamin C & iron can have severe adverse effects on all chronic
diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel
disease.
A Quote from one of our patients
(now following a diet plan)
From New Hampshire, USA
I want to give you an update on my
progress.
As you are aware, I suffered from
irritable bowel, bloating and had genital herpes. I am
happy to say that I have had little or no issues with my stomach
or intestines now for some time after starting the diet you
designed a few months ago. In addition, it's been two
months since I have an outbreak of herpes, and I am very hopeful
that it has been cured as you suggest is possible. This is the
longest I have gone without a herpes outbreak since I contracted
it many years ago.
Thank you for your help; it has
made a significant difference in my life. Although, I felt
my diet was quite healthy before I sought your consultation, I
was obviously not eating the right combination of foods...I will
keep you informed of my continued progress.
