Z Irritable bowel syndrome (functional bowel) Definition Irritable bowel syndrome refers to a complex disorder of the lower intestinal tract. It is mainly characterized by a pattern of symptoms that is often worsened by emotional stress. The condition involves hypersensitivity to pain in the gut, combined with altered bowel habits resulting in diarrhea, constipation, or both. Alternative Names Nervous indigestion; Spastic colon; Intestinal neurosis; Functional colitis; Irritable colon; Mucous colitis; Laxative colitis Causes Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a combination of abdominal pain and altered bowel function. There are many possible causes. For instance, there may be a disturbance in the muscle movement of the intestine or a lower tolerance for stretching and movement of the intestine. There is no abnormality in the structure of the intestine. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can occur at any age, but often begins in adolescence or early adulthood. It is more common in women. Predisposing factors may include a low-fiber diet, emotional stress, use of laxatives, a bout of infectious diarrhea, or other temporary bowel inflammation.

62. Two Main Digestive Problems 2 The irritable bowel/spastic colon will be described first. Irritable bowel/spasticcolon often aggravates the leaky gut syndrome. http://www.bedford.net/jelliser/ims2.html

The following is a Health Related Article from: ImmuneSupport.com Article Entitled: Dysautonomia and Fibromyalgia: PART TWO , Written Samuel K. Yue, M.D. Two Main Digestive Problems There are two main digestive problems, which affect many fibromyalgia patients: irritable bowel/spastic colon, and leaky gut. The irritable bowel or spastic colons are used to describe the propulsion of food through our GI tract, whereas leaky gut is used to describe the malabsorption of the nutrients within the GI track. Irritable Bowel/spastic colon The irritable bowel/spastic colon will be described first. Normally the foods are slowly propelled down the GI tract. Within 24 hours the non-absorbed but digested food slowly accumulates in the colon to be later evacuated. Because of the dysautonomia or the all or nothing type of autonomic response in fibromyalgia patients, the bowel behaves strangely and in extreme. The bowel either is too tight or too loose, resulting in constipation alternating with diarrhea. Initially the bowel may be too tight as in constipation, but the organ signals to the ANS (afferent impulses) is delayed until finally the threshold is reached and the signal

Bassotti, Gabrio; Sietchiping-Nzepa, Francis; de Roberto, Giuseppe; Chistolini, Fabio; Morelli, Antonio Abstract: Background: Irritable bowel syndrome is a frequent gastrointestinal disorder of which the pathophysiological basis is still not completely understood. Among the various proposed mechanisms, colonic motility may play a role, at least in a subset of patients. Aims: To investigate the regular colonic contractile patterns in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Our working hypothesis was that an increase of these patterns in such condition might represent a motility equivalent of the so-called 'spastic colon'. Patients and methods: Twelve patients of both genders were investigated by means of 24 h colonic manometry, and the results were compared to those from 20 healthy controls. Regular contractile patterns (with frequencies ranging from 2 to 8 per min) were calculated for the entire recording period and in single colonic segments. Results: Overall, colonic frequency patterns were significantly more frequent in patients than controls (12.6% vs 6.4% of the total contractile activity, P

Or was it yesterday morning that you had your last bowel movement? Or the day before? Or one cold but memorable day early last December? Constipation is no fun. Sometimes it can be painful. But the cause of your sluggish bowels is often easy to find. It may include a lack of fiber in the diet, insufficient liquid intake, stress, medications, lack of exercise, and bad bowel habits, says Paul Rousseau, M.D., chief of the Department of Geriatrics at the Carl T. Hayden Veterans Administration Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. We take a look at all of these factors, and ways to remedy the situation below.

DEATH BEGINS IN THE COLON THE SPASTIC COLON: CONSTIPATION AND CONSTRICTION A healthy colon should look like this, with freedom of movement and healthy muscular walls to move the foodstuff along at a pace that promotes health throughout your entire body. The colon of someone who experiences various symptoms of constipation could look like this. The large intestine is capable of spasms, strictures, impactions, and blocks all at the same time. CONSTIPATION Obstructed or blocked bowel; difficult defecation, infrequent passage of stool, obstipation and severe constipation (no movement). Latin meaning of constipation means “ to press together”. CAUSE Hardness and impaction of feces. If a person suffers from chronic constipation you can be sure that every tissue and cell is similarly affected. Chronic constipation is not a disease but a symptom that leads to disease.

Physician Chronicles / 2003 June Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Spastic Colon Roland Larrabee, M.D. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder of the large intestine (colon). It is the most common gastrointestinal disorder. It affects twice as many women as men and usually begins in early adult life. Although IBS can cause much distress, it does not lead to life-threatening disease. Another term for IBS is spastic colon. The cause of IBS is not fully understood. Most symptoms of IBS probably result from abnormal muscle movement or spasm of the lower part of the colon. Sometimes the spasm delays bowel movements. At other times it may lead to more rapid passage of bowel movements, resulting in diarrhea. In either case the spasm usually causes abdominal cramps. A specific food may trigger attacks. Spasms may also be triggered by stress or depression because muscle movement in the colon is controlled by the nervous system. The most common symptoms include: cramping and pain in the abdomen, which may be severe

Concomitantly, these drugs reduced the sigmoidal hypertonicity and the rectal inhibition found in the manometric studies performed in some of those patients. The sigmoidal tone and phasic activity were also decreased by anticholinergic drugs. These results suggest that a cholinergic-serotonergic hyperactivity of the myenteric plexus may be responsible for the "spastic colon" syndrome. HOME HELP CONTACT US SUBSCRIPTIONS ...

76. McDougall Wellness Center The contents of the large bowel are the primary determinant of the health andfunction of the intestine, and a spastic colon is no exception to this rule. http://www.drmcdougall.com/science/colitis_m.html

Colitis-Mild (Non-Specific, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Spastic Colitis The McDougall Program: Diet and Lifestyle Implications: The contents of the large bowel are the primary determinant of the health and function of the intestine, and a spastic colon is no exception to this rule. Few physicians have even an elementary understanding of the influence that foods can have on the body: they are unprepared to deal with health and disease from this fundamental perspective. Possibly it is too simple and obvious a fact that the contents of the large intestine will determine whether or not the stool will be large or small, hard or soft, and if defecation will be painful or not, and whether or not blood and mucus will accompany passage of the stool. (This is a clear case of not seeing the forest for the trees.) Could the fear that the very foods the physicians and dietitians themselves eat and feed to their families can also be the cause of their patient's illness be too personal a threat for most health professionals? The "high-tech" drug solution would be much more easy to accept for most men and women of science. Most people with irritable bowel syndrome improve almost as soon as they begin to eat a starch-based diet that provides all types of fresh or fresh-frozen plant foods.

Chapter VllI Colon Therapy T herapies that relate to the large intestine, or bowel (colon), have always been the stepchildren of medicine. From the inception of medical treatment, complaints related to colon activity have been prevalent. The use of cathartics and laxatives dates from time immemorial and the enema in various forms was described in humanity's very earliest therapeutic writings. Yet to this day, very few doctors are anxious to do any constructive work on this poor, maligned and misunderstood part of the body. It is a rare person who doesn't have some difficulty with the colon at some time in his life. If these problems are met and corrected early, they will not assume the severe characteristics of the diseases that can afflict the large bowel. The organs of elimination, particularly those for the discharge of urine and feces, have always been regarded as dirty or unclean and weren't to be discussed in polite company. I have often thought that if fecal matter had a delicate odor and a good commercial use, the colon and its attendant difficulties might be viewed in an entirely different light. Our Creator apparently was of a somewhat different opinion. Therefore, since it doesn't seem possible to change the nature of the colon's product, we should attempt to do the next best thing: change our view of this whole process of the elimination of the body's solid waste. Fermentation and Putrefaction B acterial action on food in the large bowel may be divided into two types-fermentation and putrefaction. Fermentation is the action of bacteria on starches or carbohydrates. By this action, the gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide are produced. Also organic acids, such as butyric, acetic and lactic acid are formed. If the degree of fermentation is minor, there is little or no distress or knowledge by the individual of this process. On the other hand, if the circumstances are such that there is excessive fermentation, large amounts of gas are formed which may cause distention of the large bowel. This excessive gas formation causes either pain in the more severe cases or at least the passing of the objectionable gas. Where digestion is weak, or where the individual has a digestive idiosyncrasy, certain foods tend to cause more fermentation than others. The common offenders are the various types of beans, onions, peanuts, cabbage, cucumbers, and dried fruits.

More information Irritable bowel syndrome is a catchall name for a variety of ailments also referred to as spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic bowel, mucous colitis and irritable colon. It is the most common intestinal disorder but is not life-threatening. The syndrome affects millions of Americans, mostly women. While there is no cure, adding dietary fiber and decreasing fat intake can alleviate some symptoms, as can certain medications. "It's one of the most embarrassing diseases out there," says the 29-year-old Dallas resident. "I can't even go to a party because I may need to go to the bathroom and I might have only two seconds to get there or I'll have an accident. It's too humiliating." Her condition is called irritable bowel, also sometimes known as colitis, spastic colon or functional bowel disease. It falls under a syndrome of ailments believed to affect 22 million Americans, most of them women.
