Acupuncture, Herbs and IBSWelcome to the all new and improved IBS page. This page used to be the home of one article that talked extensively about two possible causes of IBS as well as their treatments from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) paradigm. The work that I've done with IBS has proven to me that this article did not address all of the issues that IBS can create. So, I've gone into much more depth on the subject and hope that you can use these pages to better answer your specific IBS questions. Of course, if there are any issues that you don't see answered here, you are welcome to contact me for more information. IBS is generally a diagnosis of exclusion. In other words, there is no lab test for IBS, however tests can rule out everything else. In some cases, IBS has become synonymous with a digestive problem that Western medicine simply can't explain. That's one reason for the expanded version of this page, to take into account all of the different symptoms that can be part of this issue. Though, from the TCM standpoint, IBS doesn't really exist. We look at things very different. For instance, the typical IBS problem which is a stress-induced digestive problem, is only one of many possible causes for the symptoms addressed on this page. IBS has to be treated in the individual, because there are a wide variety of possible causes and unless we address the specific cause, the treatment itself will not work. That is Chinese medicine. Welcome. Links
