Following A Rotation Diet Could Help Ease Ibs Symptoms By: Dr. Victor Marchione
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a general term for a variety of inflammatory disorders of the intestinal tract.
Normally, the muscular contractions of your digestive tract are coordinated and regular.
IBS can disrupt this coordination and cause painful symptoms.
The difficulty with IBS, besides pain and discomfort, is that it can cause
havoc with your nutritional health.
IBS can be pretty serious.
Scientists are unsure what causes the disease and how exactly to treat it.
Sometimes medications are prescribed, but these treatments can cause
prescription side effects.
Now here's some GOOD health
news on the IBS front: a recent study has found that
following a simple rotation diet could help to reduce
painful symptoms.
Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center set
out to investigate the role of food intolerance in IBS
patients.
They enrolled 20 people who had failed standard
IBS medical therapies at a gastrointestinal clinic.
The patients underwent food elimination diets based on the
results of food- and mold-sensitivity tests.
Probiotics were also introduced. Repeat testing was performed at six
months.
The research team followed up with the patients
one year after trial completion to assess any beneficial
effects from the rotation diet.
They found that there were significant improvements in
stool frequency and IBS symptom scores.
Imbalances of beneficial flora were identified in 100% of the patients at
the outset of the study.
However, there was a significant
improvement in beneficial flora after treating with the
rotation diet.
The one-year follow-up showed minimal
symptomatic problems from IBS and a significantly
improved perception of control over IBS.
The researchers concluded that identifying and appropriately addressing
food sensitivities in IBS patients not previously responding
to standard therapy results in a sustained clinical response
and impacts positively on overall well-being and quality of
life.
How do you follow a rotation diet? Don't know if you have
any food sensitivities?
A rotation diet is simply a diet in which you eat a certain food (or food group) on a particular
day and then do not eat that food again for four days.
Record the condition of your health once you eliminate this
food.
Over the course of the four days, is it better, the same,
or worse?
After four days, add the food back into your diet.
Record your symptoms again.
Do you notice that any
symptoms are worse? If so, you may have a sensitivity to
this food that is aggravating, or perhaps even causing, some
of your health problems.
It can take some time to identify trigger foods using the
rotation diet.
But be patient -- discovering a food that is
causing you to feel awful in some way is worth the effort.
You may find that your symptoms clear up remarkably
quickly by taking the simple step of eliminating a particular
food from your diet.

The Amazing, Historic, Powerful Green Tea By: David Juan
Green tea is one of the most healthful beverages on the
planet. It is a constant topic of medical studies around the
world. It is ancient and its chemical properties make it
potentially helpful in a range of conditions. This begins a
multi-part article in which I examine how the ancient
beverage helps battle many conditions, including cancer.
Tea drinking started in China about 5,000 years ago.
Legend has it that tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor
at this time when leaves from a bush nearby blew into his
boiling water. Long ago, Traditional Chinese Medicine
recommended tea for healthy individuals trying to prevent
various diseases. During the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD),
tea drinking as well as tea trade flourished in Asia.
True teas all come from the "Camellia sinensis" shrub.
Once the leaves are plucked from the tree, the way they are
processed determines what kinds of tea we get. Black teas
are crushed and then exposed to oxygen before they are
dried, whereas green teas are non-fermented. Oolong teas
are "partially fermented." All teas contain a group of
chemicals known as "polyphenols" and are especially high
in flavonoids. However, the types and amounts will depend
on the way the teas are processed.
In green tea, the major polyphenol belongs to the family
known as "catechins." It also contains many other
beneficial chemicals: caffeine; gallic acid; theophylline;
theobromine; theaflavins; and theanine.
More than one million Americans are diagnosed with
cancer each year. Another 500,000 die of cancer each year.
In Asia, drinking green tea and eating soy are linked to a
lower cancer rate and fewer deaths. What green tea really
does in terms of preventing cancer is culled from mostly
large population surveys -- also known as epidemiological
studies. In parts two, three and four of this series, I'll
examine specific cancers with respect to green tea.
