Tummy Trouble?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a complicated set of chronic symptoms that can effect quality of life significantly. Approximately 20% of Americans have symptoms that are compatible with this diagnosis but don't seek treatment. Common symptoms include abdominal distension, relief of pain after bowel movement, more frequent and looser stools at onset of pain, a sense of incomplete rectal evacuation, and passage of mucus with the stool. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees a link between these symptoms and our emotions, diet, and lifestyle. Along with diet modification, acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can help with this symdrome.
