Don't be a hostage to IBS

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is no respector of age or background. It affects young and old, fit and ill, working or retired, male and female.

Not only does it cause physical and emotional pain and discomfort, for many it leaves them housebound, it can result in the loss of employment, reduced school hours, reduced socialising.

It can mean additonal costs for medication which is often limited in its effectiveness. Child care fees, prescription charges, insurance costs all add to the burden of IBS, which by and large is considered to be 'non serious' by many in the medical profession.

And yet, I see people at the end of their patience, reduced to tears by this condition.  Little did I know when I started researching IBS in 1991, that 21 years later, I would still be seeing people with IBS, the medical profession having come marginally closer to understanding the condition, but no closer to curing it or certain about its causes.

Every working day in my practice I see the effects of IBS, physical, emotional and financial. People losing pay through reduced hours caused by IBS absenteeism. Struggling with rising bills, losing faith in the medical profession, wondering just how much longer they can go on.

Fortunately all the study and research and development I did all those years ago, is still bringing relief to IBS sufferers through the IBS Audio Program 100, developed specifically for the IBS condition in 1998.

We proved not only a good product, but excellent customer service too. Supporting our customers by phone, and email, overseen by patient advocate Marilyn who understand the IBS condition and its effects inside and out.

I see the IBS Audio Program 100 as a rescuer for many IBS sufferers.  Many users find they can manage or walk away from their symptoms. As the author of the IBS Audio Program 100, I never call it a cure, simply because the medical profession cannot find anything wrong after investigations, so, the logic goes, if tere is noting wrong, it cannot be cured!

Frustrating to say the least.  Whatever the results are called, whether a cure, or improved quality of life, managing the problem or walking away from IBS, all that really matters is that some relief has been found for the individual and this brings benefits to their loved ones too.

So when things feel difficult, and you seem to have nowhere to turn, consider looking a little closer at the IBS Audio Program 100. Imagine 100 days from now (20 October 2012) or even sooner, feeling happier, more comfortable and empowered.



No longer a hostage of IBS!
