Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and medicine

for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health naturally starting

now.

I'm Dr. Aviva Rom.

Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS is a condition that causes millions of Americans, mostly

women, to suffer with intestinal cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, and or diarrhea.

It affects women twice as often as men, and some women have IBS with constipation that

can persist for days, weeks, or even months.

Others have frequent loose tools.

If you experience this, you know what I'm talking about.

Alternating abouts of constipation and diarrhea are super common, and sometimes people with

IBS have a crampy urge to have a bowel movement, but nothing happens.

Many women patients have sent me photos of themselves looking 5-7 months pregnant when

they're not pregnant at all.

It's due to bloating after a meal and has caused them substantial personal, social embarrassment.

First of all, to that, I want to say let's hang that on up, ladies.

We have got to stop being embarrassed about our bellies and about this obsession with flat

bellies.

That said, I totally get it if you're struggling with IBS, how uncomfortable it can be.

Welcome to Natural MD Radio.

This is your host, Avivaram, and let's get to the why and when of IBS symptoms and what

you can do.
