A Radically New Way to Beat IBS...Without Drugs and Their Side Effects!

My Story of Beating IBS...

I've suffered from IBS for about 5 years - from 1995 to 2000. I remember times when I had diarrhea so bad that it lasted for over two weeks without a break! And I didn't see my doctor. In fact, I hated going to my doctor. What a BIG mistake - by ignoring it, the problem just got worse. I'm sure at the time I thought I might be suffering from something more serious than IBS so rather than come to terms with that, I blocked it out of my mind.

Bloating and Pain After Eating Seemed Normal!

There were other times when I was bloated for days on end. As I remember, I got to the stage where it seemed normal; I expected bloating and pain after eating! It happened so often that I just put up with it like an ache or pain that won't go away.

And then the fatigue. Most of the time I felt energy-less; always having to force myself to do things. Sometimes were worse than others; especially in the mornings. Sometimes I dreaded getting up in the morning. There were quite a few other symptoms as well. Below is an extensive list of them.

I Had Over Ten Different Symptoms Severe bloating - every time I ate food my stomach would double in size Severe stomach cramps/abdominal pain - I had constant aches and pains after eating Constipation - I noticed I suffered from this after eating processed foods Lower back pain - I had constant aches in the lower part of my back Diarrhea - this alternated with constipation Groin pain - a constant ache around my groin area Shooting pains in my legs - sometimes severe, and sometimes in the lower back Chronic fatigue - I constantly felt like I had no energy Panic attacks and heart palpitations - the most scariest of all symptoms Light headiness after eating - a strange feeling after eating? Heartburn and acid stomach - I've suffered from these for over 10 years "Hi Dave, My name is Justin Thackeray from Port Elizabeth South Africa. My discovery of IBS was identical to yours in just about every respect. I had frequent urination, pain and general discomfort [diarrhea, abdominal pain]. Eventually, ...my digestive system suffered complete collapse and so began my IBS. I underwent blood tests and my GP eventually confirmed IBS as nothing else could be found. The whole experience was very traumatic for me as my family has a history of cancer and I obviously assumed the worst.

With your exceptional website, I found the most helpful information I could possibly wish for.

Doctors and specialists have not been helpful with this regard in the least. Now my focus has been set to rebuilding my system and to achieve an overall improvement in my health. After 4-5 days I felt terrific. I showed a gradual improvement, and after two weeks I was almost back to normal. I was also very overweight and I have lost 18 Kgs (almost 40 pounds) and feeling much better. Thank you so much for all your help in what seemed a no win situation.

Thanks once again. Regards," Justin (the_lair@intekom.co.za) My Symptoms Got Worse and Worse Over a period of several years, my symptoms got worse and worse. I think the final straw was taking several courses of antibiotics for a suspected urine infection. After taking the antibiotics, all my symptoms got worse - the diarrhoea became chronic, the stomach and back pain increased dramatically, the groin pain was nearly constant, and I had shooting pains in my arms and lower back now!At this stage I seriously thought I had something very serious - possibly cancer. So I had to do something about it. Eventually I saw four doctors, had numerous blood tests and physical examinations, and was even admitted to the local hospital. After more tests I was eventually diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and depression.

Eat More Fiber and Try to Relax? My GP (general practitioner) advised me to eat more fiber and try to relax! Needless to say, it didn't work. So I decided from that point on that I would get to know everything I can about IBS and then use that knowledge to beat it. I studied many IBS success stories, looking for common denominators, read dozens of books and thousands of articles.

My 'Breakthrough' In Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome Most of the books and articles I read repeated the same old stuff: "IBS is a dysfunctional bowel, with no known cause or cure". Reading this stuff again and again was depressing. But reading about people who beat IBS or reduced most of their symptoms was fascinating. I think this is what lead to my 'breakthrough' in understanding irritable bowel syndrome...

My 'breakthrough' was not some amazing scientific discovery - unfortunately.

It was a new way to look at IBS. If you are told that you have irritable bowel syndrome with no known cause or cure, how or where can you start to reduce your symptoms? How can you begin to tackle a 'syndrome'? For most people, being told they have a 'syndrome' is overwhelming and upsetting.

After a tremendous amount of research, thinking and personal experimentation, I realized that my digestive was NOT diseased but STRAINED. As mentioned above, my digestive system was struggling to digest the foods I was eating and the fluids I was drinking. How did I know it was struggling? Because of the diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, etc...This is why doctors and experts alike can only diagnose IBS after they have eliminated all other digestive diseases and disorders - because the digestive system is not diseased, but simply strained!! How can they diagnose a strained digestive system?After more research, research and RESEARCH, I began to identify what foods, fluids and drugs could strain the digestive system and what digestive problems they could cause. I then researched each of these digestive problems and their typical symptoms...

"I feel like a new person! The last time I wrote to you I was really having some terrible abdominal cramping. Then last Friday the pains completely went away. I was having some tenderness and weakness all week and today I feel like my old self again. I have been following your advice.

Thank you so very much for all the information..." S.

Tully, USA.

I Was Shocked!!!

There was no real mystery to IBS. There are a number of digestive problems that can cause IBS symptoms.

Help your digestive system overcome these digestive problems and the IBS symptoms systematically improve and ultimately disappear!

After realizing this, I began to experiment and devise a program to help me beat my IBS. I studied all the digestive problems that could cause IBS symptoms and researched into ways of beating them. After following my Program for a few weeks, my digestive system improved dramatically! And the more I followed the Program the better my digestive became until I reached the stage of no IBS symptoms!

Now, today I'm totally free of IBS and feel great. While I had IBS, I felt absolutely terrible -

tired and exhausted, drained, depressed, miserable and unhappy. But today, I'm feel the total opposite - happy, relaxed, focused, confident and in very good health.

I Don't Have to Worry About IBS Anymore And Nor Should You!I don't have to worry about irritable bowel syndrome any more because I know what caused my IBS - strain from certain foods, fluids and drugs (which is in common with many other millions and millions of sufferers worldwide), and I will never make the same mistakes again.And the same goes for you, once you've taken the strain off your digestive system and helped to improve it, YOU won't make the same mistakes again! Why? Because who wants to go back to a life controlled and dominated by diarrhea, bloating, constipation, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, etc.

IBS Explained - Learn More About Your DisorderIrritable bowel syndrome is a disorder; it's not a disease like Crohn's Disease where the small intestine is inflamed. IBS sufferers is do not suffer from inflamed intestines, although the symptoms of IBS and Crohn's (and other digestive disorders) can be very similar.IBS can only be described by its symptoms: persistent abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating, and possibly other symptoms but these are the main ones. A person is usually diagnosed with IBS if they have the above symptoms and no disease or other reason has been found for the disorder. It's important to realize that irritable bowel syndrome is only diagnosed after other disorders and diseases have been eliminated. So put simply, IBS is recurrent symptoms of diarrhea/constipation, abdominal pain, bloating where no ‘real disease' has been found. Thus, IBS is a catch-all term for a number of possible digestive disorders.

What are the Typical Symptoms of IBS Sufferers?Typical symptoms of IBS sufferers can be divided into two groups - primary and secondary. Primary symptoms include:

Stomach/abdominal pain Diarrhea and/or Constipation Bloating Excessive gas Secondary symptoms include:

Fatigue Lower back pain Shooting pains Heartburn Acid stomach Headaches Nausea Groin pain Stomach/abdominal pain: I've found via research and personal experience that there are two main sources of stomach/abdominal pain. The two sources are bowel spasm and increased digestive tract sensitivity or hypersensitivity. Diarrhea:

The diarrhea is caused by uncontrolled bowel spasm. When the bowel goes into spasm, stools are not properly formed and excess fluid is not absorbed leading to watery stools - diarrhea.Constipation:

There are number of possible causes of constipation including: altered digestive chemistry and intestinal flora, low fluid and fibre intake, loss of body salts, etc.Bloating:

Bloating can be caused by trapped gas in the stomach or bowels. The gas is caused by undigested or partly digested food being fermented by bacteria or fungal overgrowth. Another cause of bloating is bowel distention. If the bowel goes into spasm, it can ‘stick out’ giving the appearance or feeling of bloating.

Excessive gas: Excessive gas is caused by undigested or partly digested food being fermented in the large intestines.There’s only a small number of ways the digestive system (DS) can signal there’s a problem. These ways, or symptoms to be more precise, include diarrhea, bloating, pain, constipation. So these symptoms are a sign that there is a problem. So persistent symptoms are a sign of a recurrent problem. Testimonial There's a person so delighted with beating her IBS after following my advice, she advises other sufferers to visit my site.

Testimonial "Hello Dave, I purchased your IBS Program approximately 2 weeks ago for my wife, Jane, who has suffered from IBS for many years.

She has visited doctors and several alternative therapists for help with her IBS, but the recommended treatments and remedies did not help her. In some instances, her symptoms became worse!

I am delighted to inform you that after following your IBS Program for 3 weeks, my wife's symptoms have improved remarkably. She can now sit and stand without any pain. Her nausea and severe heartburn have gone. Overall, she feels very well.

Thank you so much." Alex and Jane Jones (alexandjanejones@btinternet.com) This is What You Can Expect From The Program After much feedback from people following the Program, here's what you can expect the Program to do for you:

Week 1 Less diarrhea Some improvement in your stomach cramps/abdominal pain Definite improvement in any nausea and similar symptoms Week 2 Significant improvement in most - if not all - symptoms; especially diarrhea, pain and constipation Perhaps much less bloating as well Week 3 You should see a significant improvement in all your symptoms - much less or no bloating, pain, diarrhea, constipation You should also notice a marked improvement in your energy levels Week 4 After following the Program this far, you should feel much, much better and most of your symptoms may have gone completely...most sufferers following the Program see an amazing difference in their symptoms and the way they feel after 3 - 4 weeks.

Some even get to the stage of no symptoms after only 3 - 4 weeks!

Your overall well-being and confidence should have improved a lot.

You'll probably feel much more relaxed and much less tense about eating and the after effects of eating.

Testimonial "Hi, I've had IBS for about 15 years. I've had many tests done including a coloscopy and blood tests. After no reason was found for my symptoms, IBS was diagnosed and I was basically told to put up with it because there was nothing that could be done about it. I've put up with stomach cramps/pain, diarrhea, constipation and bloating for around 15 years! I tried many things to control the symptoms, but most of them didn't work and the ones that did only helped a bit. Then earlier this year, a friend-of-a-friend found out about my IBS. He wrote down a list of things I should do to alleviate my symptoms. I was skeptical but also desperate to try anything. I followed everything he suggested to the letter. Amazingly, after only 10 - 14 days, my symptoms improved dramatically! I had very little constipation and diarrhea, and my main symptom was a tenderness around the abdomen and a little bloating. I carried on following the information, and after about a month, virtually all symptoms went. I had no pain, diarrhea, constipation or bloating. All that remained was a light tenderness around my stomach area - and this eventually went as well. This is amazing, considering I had been suffering from IBS for 15 years! I've heard that the person who gave the information that helped me eliminate my IBS (Dave Walton), has created a program to help other sufferers - The IBS Self-Help Program.

If IBS has tarnished and controlled your life, then I highly recommend following his program! If I can eliminate my IBS by following his suggestions... then surely there's a real possibility of you eliminating your IBS by following his radically new program!" Mr.

P. Hadley, UK. (paul.hadley0@lineone.net) Testimonial "Dear Dave, Just to let you know that I have today completed The IBS Self-Help Program. Each day I have felt better, not only in the IBS symptoms, but also in my general well-being. I have followed the program virtually to the letter as I wanted to give myself the maximum benefit. The bloating has gone, the pain subsided and 'normality' returned. As a bonus I have lost 21 pounds in weight, feel fitter than for a along time and am sleeping better as well. Many thanks for your help. Anyone wishing to eliminate IBS should follow your Program and please add my recommendation to the many you already have.

Regards," Malcolm (Malcolm.Nunn1@btinternet.com)

Testimonial "Hi Dave, I've been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for nearly a decade. I had severe bouts of diarrhea, bloating and excruciating stomach pains for most of the last ten years.

Until recently, I've been fairly housebound. I was not able to go far from my home because my IBS symptoms.

Throughout the years I've seen many GI docs and tried many different treatments.

Your IBS Self-Help Program was a last resort. I didn't think it would work because if the doctors can't help, who can? To say your Program has changed my life is an understatement. For the first time in nearly 10 years I can leave my house without worry. I can go to the park, shops or where ever I like. You really have made such a difference to my life!

Thank you very much." Mrs Doreen Miller (USA)

Testimonial "Dear Dave, I have been an IBS sufferer for the past seven years and have tried several remedies without any success. At first i was a bit hesitant to go to the doctor as I thought that it would eventually go away but just got worse until I could take it no more. The doctors did not really seem to know much and I had to do many tests for them to find nothing wrong with me. I have been taking painkillers every time I get the abdominal pains but they eventually came back after the medication wore off.

I even stopped eating certain foods like beans, bananas and other products that I thought might be the reason for the pain but the pain just came back. I browsed through the internet and found your website which I found to be extremely helpful. Bought your self-help program and followed it and since then I have not had any pains or symptoms. For me this is truly a miracle.

Thank you for doing all the research on this and sharing it with other sufferers.

Rosemarie, Canada" Testimonial "Dave, you're a genius. I've done it, got no stomach pain, diarrhea, or bloating and I feel great. God I feel good. Much more energy and no IBS!

Thank you so much." Alex and Jane Jones (alexandjanejones@btinternet.com) "Hi Dave.

I have not been in touch with you in a while so I wanted to let you know how things have been going for my mom. My mom suffered from severe IBS with uncontrollable diarrhea for the past 3 years, and then I found your IBS Self Help Program online.

After she followed your Program has had a complete turnaround since finishing the program. She has no more diarrhea - after severe diarrhea for years - and normal bowel movements for the first time in many years. Before following your Program, she was at a point where she was a prisoner to her own home. She was not leaving the house, she could not sleep and most of all was very depressed. Your program has truly changed her life. This was a miraculous turnaround in her life.

I wanted to THANK YOU for all of your help with the program and your advice along the way. You have made a huge difference in helping my mother get back the quality of life she was missing for so long.

I am sure you get many emails a day, but I know my mother would absolutely love to thank you in person. I will give you her phone number, address and email. Please feel free to contact her.
