Press Release Body = IBS sufferers are sometimes accused of being either
'hypochondriacs' or else having imagined or greatly exaggerated their symptoms. This
is frequently the case if extensive testing reveals no sign of disease.

However IBS is certainly not an imaginary complaint and, thankfully, the medical
profession is starting to recognise this. The trouble is that despite this, there is
very little that most doctors are able to do to help those with IBS since Irritable
Bowel Syndrome is not covered by general medical training.

Some doctors prescribe anti-depressants for their IBS patients. Of course,
depression can precede IBS and the symptoms can also result in the person becoming
depressed. However, such an approach does not address underlying causes or in any
way help to treat the physical symptoms of IBS.

Furthermore, stress and anxiety can certainly worsen existing symptoms (as many
doctors believe) and could even be a primary cause in some cases. However, the
effects of these factors can be very physical. Abdominal pain is at least in part
caused by spasms in the colon when normal, regular muscular contractions become
disrupted.

Elizabeth Harfleet, a respected nutritionist specialising in digestive disorders,
has released a new e-book to provide sufferers with practical and expert advice to
alleviate their symptoms.
