Improving IBS symptoms with the Paleo Diet approach

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a very common G.I. problem. Many have it and are unaware what to "call" it. This is typically diagnosed, however, after weeding out other possibilities such as an intolerance, autoimmune disorders, and various digestive problems. Symptoms can be triggered by certain foods, nervousness/anxiety, stress, along with many other triggers. These symptoms include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, constipation, painful gas, indigestion, and sensitivity.

Its interesting how making a few changes to the diet can greatly improve the symptoms. Probiotics are also a common route of treatment. The following infographic provides another way of possibly treating/improve symptoms of IBS. Always seek medical guidance, and research should back up treatment options. However, the Paleo Diet is a very safe and easy way to not only eat healthier, even if not followed strictly, but possibly improve IBS symptoms.

In other words, it can't hurt to try!
