What is irritable bowel syndrome?

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or functional colopathy , is a common disorder, considered a disease which results in abdominal pain, bloating, transit disorders and flatulence.

The number of people affected by irritable bowel syndrome is constantly increasing around the world. Today, it affects between 10 and 20% of Western populations, particularly women. In France alone, more than 9 million people suffer from functional intestinal disorders.

Irritable bowel syndrome: an invisible and very poorly diagnosed disease

Unfortunately, it is an invisible illness that is still very poorly diagnosed. In fact, today, 2 out of 3 people with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are not heard by their doctor: - “It's in your head” . For what ? because this syndrome is difficult to identify. On examination, the patient born presents no abnormality in blood test, colonoscopy, or radiological examination...The examinations are all normal! Result for the doctors: “You have nothing! ". A diagnosis that is difficult to accept when you suffer from symptoms every day that have real repercussions on a daily basis. Irritable bowel syndrome is still taboo and can lead to a feeling of isolation due to the incomprehension of those around you.

What causes irritable bowel syndrome?

Most often, the disease begins gradually without a triggering factor. In 20% of cases, however, the illness follows an event such as severe gastroenteritis, food poisoning or significant episodes of stress. The mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome are multiple and far from being the same in all patients.

We mainly find:

  • Dysbiosis in 2/3 of patients , i.e. an imbalance in the intestinal flora

  • Hypermeability of the intestinal wall

  • Hypersensitivity in 2/3 of patients, i.e. the abnormal and/or painful perception of phenomena that go unnoticed by “healthy” people

  • A disorder of the motility of the digestive tract manifested by insufficient or excessive digestive contractions, often linked to a dysfunction of the enteric nervous system (that of the intestines: the wall of our digestive tract is made up of more than 100 million neurons).

What treatments in case of irritable bowel syndrome ?

To date, there is unfortunately no treatment to cure irritable bowel syndrome, but it is possible to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of the symptoms.

1 – Relieve irritable bowel syndrome with the FODMAPs diet

It has been shown that a diet depleted in FODMAPs is effective in 70% of patients . These are types of carbohydrates present in certain foods such as cow's milk, wheat, mushrooms, garlic and onion. In the case of IBS, it is better to avoid them and favor foods low in FODMAPs such as potatoes, eggs, tofu or even fish, chicken, pineapple or oranges.

2 – Calm your IBS by removing lactose and gluten

Many patients are intolerant to lactose and/or gluten, which are more difficult foods to tolerate. Be careful, gluten and/or lactose intolerance can be an isolated disorder, you can have hypersensitive intestines and not have irritable bowel syndrome .

3 – Take digestion probiotics to relieve irritable bowel syndrome

If you suffer from dysbiosis, that is to say an unbalanced intestinal flora , we advise you to take probiotics and more specifically our Indispensable DIJO Probiotics which helps restore the intestinal flora and thus promotes the reduction of symptoms such as bloating, transit disorders, abdominal cramps, etc. For people suffering from abdominal syndrome. irritable bowel, we recommend a treatment of at least 3 months. But, if we notice an improvement, it is possible to extend this treatment or even take probiotics continuously.

4 – Take a glutamine cure to restore the intestinal mucosa

The intestinal mucosa constitutes a border between the interior environment of our body and the outside world: it represents a real barrier and a selective filter, allowing the absorption of nutrients provided by food (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids …) and by preventing the passage of foreign substances (food molecules that are insufficiently digested and therefore too large, parasites, viruses, bacteria, toxic compounds, etc.). In the event of an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota in particular, the intestinal mucosa, inflamed and altered, is no longer watertight. We talk about intestinal hyperpermeability, porous intestines or even sieve intestines. Due to the imbalance of their intestinal microbiota, people with irritable bowel syndrome are often affected by intestinal hyperpermeability.

What DIJO routine to relieve irritable bowel syndrome ?

Top Tummy Pack - DIJO
Our top-notch stomach pack combines 3 products to restore balance to the entire digestive tract impacted by irritable bowel syndrome :

1 – Take care of your liver

Firstly, we support the functioning of the liver to help it better eliminate toxins and waste present in the body with Liver Detox . Because of the intestinal hyperpermeability present in people with IBS, foreign molecules can pass into the bloodstream. They are then taken care of by the liver, which filters the blood coming from the digestive tract, before transmitting it to the rest of the body. The excessive quantity of molecules which may have abnormally crossed the barrier of the intestinal mucosa will cause a overload of the liver, over-demanded in its functions of purification and elimination of toxins.

2 – Strengthen the intestines in depth

Thanks to the association of The Essential Probiotics and Glutamine DIJO . Combined, they both support intestinal function and restore the intestinal barrier, preventing foreign molecules from entering the body. At the same time, supporting the liver prevents it from being overwhelmed by an excess of toxic substances to take care of.
