Natural solutions to irritable bowel syndrome

Thu, Apr 13, 2017

The team at Evergreen Healthfoods get many queries in relation to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). People ask what exactly it is and what they can do to reduce the symptoms naturally. In basic terms, IBS symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating and irregular bowel habits, including alternating diarrhoea and constipation. In some people, irritable bowel syndrome can be a mere mild annoyance, while others can suffer tremendously crippling IBS symptoms on a daily basis.

The abdominal pain associated with IBS is usually triggered by eating and relieved through the passing of a bowel movement. Believe it or not, IBS sufferers are at high risk of becoming malnourished, as no matter what they eat, the nutrients cannot be properly absorbed during the digestive process. Digestion rates vary from person to person but in general the stomach empties about two to three hours after eating. Unfortunately, IBS sufferers do not enjoy this regularity. This often results in abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements, all of which can have a major impact on quality of life.

Lord Haw-Haw, the early years

Thu, Apr 13, 2017

In 1915, a short, fair-haired, blue-eyed, boy was sent to the Jes. He later recalled the staff and the pupils as being tough. Latin was supreme and an excitable Latin teacher banged boys’ heads on the radiator. The Jesuits instilled in him a sense of discipline and an acceptance of punishment, and they left him with a love of language — his classmates would note how he used big and strange words — as well as a passion for debate. His uncle Gilbert once remarked, “The boy had a strong tendency to argue with his teachers.”
