21. Irritable Bowel Syndrome ; Which Brain Is Irritable Information and discussion concerning IBS, its causes, clinical features and management. http://www.diagnosishealth.com/ibs.htm

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Which Brain is Irritable? About the author Dr. Minocha ( http://www.diagnosishealth.com/minocha.htm ) is the Professor of Medicine and Director, Division of Digestive Diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS, and is the author of How to Stop Heartburn; Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux I rritable bowel syndrome (IBS) implies that your bowels are "irritable". This is a clinical diagnosis for many patients with intestinal problems after no abnormality is found on various blood, stools, x ray or scope tests of the bowel. In spite of the normal tests, the patient continues to have tummy pains as well as irregular bowels as constipation and/or diarrhea. Frequently, the patient is led to believe that there is something wrong with his/her brain. Is this true? Well, yes and no! No, it's not your brain in the skull. Recent research indicates that intestines are controlled by its own network of interconnected nerve cells. These connections and their "messages" are affected by neurochemical transmitters, which are similar to the ones found in the "big brain". Unlike the brain in the skull, which is the major part of central nervous system (CNS), our intestines are controlled by an essentially autonomous enteric nervous system (ENS). Think of this system of two brains in the body as the federal government , which only has a peripheral control over how any state government, in this case ENS, conducts its routine business in its own state (bowels)! However, the two brains do interact in a lot of ways, perhaps a lot more so in IBS, thus affecting each other. For example, mental stress can "worsen" IBS, whereas inability to find a satisfactory solution to IBS increases stress.

Features Research Reviews Chinese herbal medicine effective in IBS An Australian study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association lends strong scientific support to the traditional use of Chinese herbs in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The authors believe theirs is the first clinical study to rigorously document the effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of IBS - and the first to incorporate traditional Chinese diagnosis and treatment methods for IBS into a strictly controlled, conventional study model [Bensoussan et al The randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study involved 116 people with active IBS recruited from hospitals and private gastroenterology practices in Sydney, Australia. Patients were diagnosed first by gastroenterologists using standard western diagnostic methods, and then by Chinese herbalists according to the principles of Chinese medicine. Forty-three subjects were randomized to receive a standard Chinese herbal formula "considered to regulate and strengthen bowel function," 38 took individualized herbal formulas, and 35 received a placebo deemed to be indistinguishable from the herbal treatments. Treatments were administered by capsule. Individualized treatments were custom-designed by the Chinese herbalists, who also supervised treatment during the course of the trial. Each subject worked with only one herbalist for the duration of the study. Results were evaluated by gastroenterologists after eight weeks and again at the end of the 16-week treatment period.
