March 12, 2008 - In gastroenterology, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or spastic colon is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits which are not associated with any abnormalities seen on routine clinical testing. It is fairly common and makes up 20–50% of visits to gastroenterologists. Lower abdominal pain, and bloating associated with alteration of bowel habits and abdominal discomfort relieved with defecation are the most frequent symptoms.
Most agree that magnesium citrate can give relief to IBS sufferers.
Magnesium citrate is a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative and to empty the bowel prior to a surgery or colonoscopy. It is available over the counter, both as a generic brand or under the brand name Citromag or Citroma. It is also used as a magnesium supplement in pills. The magnesium content of magnesium citrate. The dosage is sometimes given to 150mgs to 300mgs.
It is here that we must understand that food as medicine is far better than chemicals as medicine. In two tablespoons of raw organic dark chocolate there are 160mgs to 170mgs. I want to recommend Xocai organic dark chocolate as a remedy for IBS sufferers. Try it! It works.
