Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a combination of abdominal pain and altered bowel function. There are many possible causes. For instance, there may be a disturbance in the muscle movement of the intestine or a lower tolerance for stretching and movement of the intestine. There is no abnormality in the structure of the intestine. The condition occurs more frequently in women and usually begins between the ages of 20 and 30. Predisposing factors may be a low-fiber diet, emotional stress, and use of laxatives. Irritable bowel syndrome is extremely common, but only a small proportion of people seek treatment.

What can you tell me about its causes and treatments? With the start of day care and the school year, the Nassau County Department of Health receives an increased number of telephone queries regarding head lice. Although not a major health hazard, head lice may be difficult to eliminate if not promptly and properly treated. Contrary to a common misconception, lice cannot "jump" from person to person nor are lice a sign of poor hygiene or limited to children. Lice are easily transmitted from one person to another by sharing combs, brushes, headgear, and clothing or by coming in contact with infested bed linens, furniture, stuffed toys, cushions and carpeting.
Extractions: According to The Merck Manual1 irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is defined as a motility disorder of the small and large intestines associated with variable degrees of abdominal pain, constipation, and/or diarrhea largely as a reaction to stress. This syndrome represents approximately half of all GI referrals or initial GI complaints in both private practice and institutional care facilities. Women suffer from this condition three times more often then men. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, flatulence, nausea, headache, fatigue, lassitude, depression, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. Modern Western medicine divides this syndrome into two patterns: 1) spastic colon type accompanied by abdominal pain and 2) the painless diarrhea type. In this article, I am primarily discussing the spastic colon type of IBS.
Extractions: By Melissa J. Roth , CHt., DCH(c) Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as spastic colon, colitis, spastic colitis or nervous stomach, are a baffling and complex set of gastrointestinal symptoms that affect 15% to 20% of the population (approximately 20 million people). It is characterized by intermittent abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, a combination of both constipation and diarrhea, pain and bloating. Some IBS patients report having both constipation and diarrhea in the same day. Two thirds of the patients are women. It is the second most cited reason for missed work days. It accounts for approximately one half of all visits to gastroenterologists. The causes of IBS are unknown. A diagnosis of IBS is actually a diagnosis of exclusionyou rule out everything else. Since IBS symptoms overlap a number of other, potentially life threatening conditions, it is imperative that the person see his/her physician or a gastroenterologist, to receive a proper diagnosis. While it isn't clear what causes it, we know that people with IBS have changes in the way sensations are perceived in the colon. And there are some anatomical changes in the lining of the colon and to the nervous system of the colon. What causes these changes is unknown.

Extractions: Go back to Torso COLON and RECTUM Large Intestine The colon See Figure 5 receives water and undigested food products from the small intestine. Its function is to absorb water and to solidify the stool into a formed bolus which can be easily passed. If one ingests insufficient amounts of fiber in his diet, constipation may develop. Fiber is anything not digested or absorbed by the small intestine and which passes into the colon. Bran is one example of fiber. Colon Disorders Constipation, Diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Spastic Colon, Mucus Colitis - Constipation usually develops because of the inadequate ingestion of food, particularly fiber and water. The colon depends upon a certain amount of fiber to produce adequate amounts of stool (bowel movement) which can be passed easily from the right side of the colon to the left side. Adequate water (2 1/2 quarts or more) must be consumed to assure that the stool is soft and not hard. Normal colon function also depends upon a certain amount of daily activity. In bedfast or inactive people constipation is more frequent. For more information on constipation click here ! The disorder called spastic colon or more recently termed irritable bowel syndrome , is where patients experience constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea, in association with abdominal pain. This is a very common disorder and affects millions of people. It can often be treated by adding fiber and water to the diet. Sometimes medications are prescribed to decrease the spasm in the bowel. It is not a dangerous condition and does not predispose to the development of cancer.(

Extractions: No one must know my terrible secret!! House of Noh The rain came down in blasts Friday morning barrages of big, long, comet-tailed, slashing drops. It was the kind of windy Chicago rainstorm where theres no use in putting up an umbrella because the next gust will grab it and turn it inside out. Waiting at the bus stop I saw other people who had tried to put their umbrellas up into the wind. A foldable umbrella wont re-close once its been pulled inside out and I saw at least three people that morning clutching half-unfurled black vinyl and steel-splined crippled bird wings at their side. Well anyway, thats one of the things I was thinking about as I stood there at the bus stop Friday morning. I had plenty of time because the buses seemed to be running late. I also had time to write a haiku (although I believe that technically this would be considered a senryu) and I would like to share it with you:

BBC Health - Ask The Doctor - Irritable Bowel Ask the Doctor. Q. spastic colon, or irritable bowel. Could you possibly explainfurther as to what spastic colon is, and whether it will go away eventually? http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/ask_doctor/spastic_colon.shtml
Extractions: I suffer immense lower abdominal pain, which extends to the lumber region of my vertebrae, and down my quadriceps. I am a self-employed fitness instructor and feel it is beginning to interfere with my career. Could you possibly explain further as to what Spastic Colon is, and whether it will go away eventually? The pain is making me severely depressed. Spastic colon, these days more often called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), is a very common disorder of the intestines that leads to symptoms such as pain, bloating, a change in bowel habits, and the production of mucus. There may be constipation or diarrhoea (or episodes of both of these). Another common symptom is the feeling that you need to open your bowels, but just can't. Many people get depressed about their symptoms, which they often feel aren't taken very seriously. IBS can causes immense pain and discomfort, and can seriously disrupt work and home life. But it does not cause permanent harm to the intestines, and doesn't cause intestinal bleeding or cancer. It's not life threatening.
