Reason For Irritable Bowel Movements?

My 18 year old daughter is not digesting her food. Within 15 minutes she has to run to the bathroom. Food is not digested when it comes out. She avoids all dairy and wheat. She has had two bouts of food poisioning in the last year and has seen a naturopath who says she has parasites. The doctor finds no parasites in her stool. She isn t losing weight and does not have lack of energy. She had a bowel intusseuption found when she was hospitalized with a weird virus, which came a few months after her first bout of food poisioning. The doctors just want to call everything Irritable bowel , but I am not okay with that answer.

DEAR USER

THANKS FOR WRITING AT HCM


YOUR DAUGHTER SYMPTOMS ARE SUGGESTIVE OF IBS

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN

THE CAUSE OF IBS ARE MANY.. THESE INCLUDE

1) GASTRIC HYPERMOTILITY

2) BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH

3) OVER USE OF ANTIBIOTICS

4) ALTERED GUT FLORA

5) PSYCHOGENIC

I SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING TO PREVENT IBS

1)AVOID DIET CALLED FODMAPS (LIST EASILY AVAILABLE ON NET)

2) PREVENT JUNK FOOD

3) SHE NEEDS TO BE STARTED ON TABLET RIFAXIMIN AFTER CONSULTING THE GASTROENTEROLOGIST

4) ALSO THERE ARE NEWER TREATMENT MODALITIES LIKE LINACLOTIDE AVAILABLE

5) SHE NEEDS TO TRAIN HER BOWEL AS WELL. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IT

HOPE I ANSWERED MY QUERY
