Research tells us that there can be many causes of irritable bowel — food allergies, overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine , a lack of digestive enzymes, parasites living in the gut, zinc or magnesium deficiency, heavy metal toxicity, and more.
Due to the variety of causes of bowel disorders, it is very important to personalize treatment based on the unique circumstances that exist for each person who suffers from IBS — the solution is most certainly not the same for all people. Solutions can be found if we look carefully at the underlying causes and treat them.
