Introduction
Being told you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is there is no real cure. The good news is that the condition will never kill you or seriously impair your health. In fact, approximately 60 percent of people with IBS symptoms never seek medical care. These people just live with it. I know, because I'm one of them. I'm a third-generation irritable bowel sufferer.
People with IBS have bowels that tend to overreact in certain situations. Whatever affects the bowels of the population at large, such as diet, hormones, or stress, affects those of IBS sufferers even more. And IBS symptoms are the result.
So what can we do? We can at least make ourselves feel more comfortable as we go through life with this syndrome. We can eat a healthful diet (rich in high-fiber foods that our systems tolerate), drink plenty of water, avoid foods that make us feel worse, and find ways to minimize and handle the stress in our daily lives.

But be forewarned, treating IBS is a little like trying to hit a moving target. Not only do IBS symptoms vary from one person to the next, they can also change from week to week in the same person. And when if comes to treatments, different things work for different people. The only way to know what works for you is to try it and see if it seems to help.
To make things even more complicated, the treatment you try for one symptom can cause a completely new symptom to occur. So with IBS, you definitely want to choose your treatments wisely. That's what this book is about: presenting the possible dietary treatments for IBSmany of which have helped IBS sufferers live more comfortable lives. People with IBS who don't seem to respond well to drugs or dietary modification may want to concentrate on the psychological treatments available for IBS. Individual or group psychotherapy, relaxation training, meditation, biofeedback, and hypnosis can all help relieve some symptoms.
You Are Not Alone
IBS has been around a while. Medical descriptions of IBS can be found from as far back as the late 1800s. If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, you are not alone. In the United States alone, 25 to 55 million people suffer from some degree of IBS. Many of them don't even know that the symptoms they have been dealing with over the years have a name. After the common cold, IBS accounts for the most missed days of work, and up to 40 percent of all visits to gastroenterologists are related to IBS symptoms. And what I find most interesting is that IBS is common across countries that are culturally very different from America, such as Japan, China, and India. So trust me, you are not alone.
