HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: IRON DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA AND IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Iron deficiency leads to low levels of hemoglobin in the red blood cells and a reduction in the total red cell count. The finding of an iron deficiency anaemia is a sign of blood loss until proven otherwise. In women the cause may be heavy periods; but always the problem of blood loss from the gut must be confronted. Low hemoglobin could be the first and only sign of an intestinal malignancy. If confirmatory blood tests fail to show the cause of iron deficiency anaemia, the next step must always be endoscopy or X-ray studies of the bowel.
Home Remedies
Do not supplement with iron until the cause for an iron deficiency has been established. If the cause relates to dietary insufficiency or heavy periods add the following food stuffs to your daily diet: liver, oysters, wheat germ and apricots.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a diagnostic rubbish bin for any collection of gastrointestinal symptoms from diarrhea to constipation that medical science can't find an answer for. There is no single picture consistent with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome; there are multiple treatments and multiple therapeutic failures. It is the practice of doctors to keep trying different forms of chemical substances until such time as one or a combination of medicines is found that relieves most of the symptoms.
Home Remedies
The bowel is more sensitive than other bodily organs to emotions, anxiety and stress. It is not surprising that symptoms of the irritable Bowel Syndrome occur whenever these phenomenons appear in excess. In many instances the resolution of stress circumstances or the normalization of an emotional state relieves the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Doctors have no training and little inclination to help when patients’ physical symptoms are intertwined with social and psychological variables Clinical psychologists, naturopaths, homoeopaths and nutritional therapists all have more to offer than the medical practitioner. A high fibre diet is the basis of any multi disciplinary attack of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. High fibre produces a soft, bulky and regular motion in the face of either diarrhea or constipation.
