Show Notes:
Most IBS, Irritable bowel syndrome physicians, specialists, and Gastroenterologists are focused on ordering tests, and prescribing medication. But there are several areas which are commonly overlooked and these mistakes can cause inflammation to increase over time, without resolution

1. Ignoring Bowel Movements- Irritable bowel syndrome, by definition is associated with messed up bowel movements. But most gastroenterologists, do not ask enough questions regarding daily frequency, consistency, or appearance. Most patients in my clinic send me daily photos of their poop so I can assess for inflammation (sounds crazy.... I know!).
Mucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue (MALT), spleen, liver, Aero-Digestive tract- contains 80% of the body's immune system. American Gut Project- Top Tier Research Universities are able to predict autoimmune inflammation, exacerbation, and severity, based on the type of bacteria in the stool. Gut microbiome optimization therefore is very important. Frequent regular bowel movements are desirable to prevent inflammation. Otherwise you get overgrowth of bacteria, sometimes called SIBO, or IMO if the bacterial produce methane. These bacteria cause the intestinal permeability to increase, result in leaky gut. There are tests you can do for SIBO, IMO, methane production, and Zonulin metabolites for leaky gut. C difficile colitis, also called clostridium bacteria, is another type of opportunistic infection from bacterial overgrowth. You can also get overgrowth of funguses such as Candida, which results in histamine intolerance.

2. Too much sugar, processed foods in IBS. There are several concurrent biochemical pathways of inflammation that get activated in irritable bowel syndrome specifically. Reactive oxygen species, oxidative damage. Fatty acid synthase (FAS), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) dysregulation in IBS. If you avoid these foods, you can activate protective pathways in irritable bowel, that are anti-inflammatory in nature and can heal the gut. These include NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)

3. Deficiency in Phytonutrients in Irritable Bowel- Long term paleo, carnivore, Atkins, weight watchers diets can be deficient in plant base micronutrients.

4. Ignoring stress and trauma- Stress plays a significant role in IBS. But there are ways to substantially address bowel related stress so that it does not negatively effect the system.

5. Poor Sleep can impact bowel movements

6. Sedentary Lifestyle- can slow down the gut and lead to troubled digestion in IBS
