Yogurt and IBS
My good friend thanks her lucky stars that she is
Indian.
She suffers from IBS, but has managed to control the
discomfort and pain normally associated by following
some advice given by her Indian relatives.
Take
a lot of yogurt. This should be home-cultured yogurt,
not the commercial ones that you get in the
supermarkets. Try and take some yogurt after every meal,
as it contains a lot of good bacteria that aids in
digestion.
Chew on raw mint leaves if you have sudden spasms or
pain. The mint reduces the spasms and brings relief
quite quickly.
For those with constipation, drink fresh cow's milk.
Milk seems to make stools soft and this makes it easier
for those with difficult bowel movement.
Every morning when you wake up, spend three minutes
doing some breathing exercises.You can lie on your back.
When you inhale, make sure your stomach rises, and when
you exhale make sure you flatten your stomach. Do this
breathing exercise in rapid succession for three
minutes. After that drink a glass of freshly boiled
water (drink it after it has cooled down!). This
practice makes it easier to pass motion.
Seems like the Indian have some good techniques in
dealing with IBS problems!
