20% of the population now suffer from IBS to varying degrees. Approximately 60-65% of IBS sufferers are female; 35-40% are male. IBS affects people of all ages, even children.

The exact cause of IBS is not known. Symptoms appear to result from a disturbance in the interaction between the gut, brain and nervous system that alters regulation of bowel motor or sensory function. Medical practitioners maintain that IBS is not caused by stress. However, because of the connection between the brain and the gut, symptoms can be exacerbated or triggered by stress.

The impact of IBS can range from mild inconvenience to severe debilitation, controlling many aspects of one’s emotional, social and professional life. Those with moderate to severe cases, affecting an estimated two to three million people in the UK, must struggle to overcome symptoms that often impair their physical, emotional, economic, educational and social well-being. IBS is also unpredictable; symptoms vary and are sometimes contradictory, such as diarrhoea alternating with constipation. Chronic and recurrent symptoms can disrupt personal and professional activities, upset emotional wellbeing and limit individual potential.

Although IBS is very common in the general population, few seek medical care for their symptoms. On average, patients report it takes more than three years from onset to diagnosis, and see nearly three healthcare professionals before their condition is diagnosed as IBS. Approximately 20-40% of all visits to gastroenterologists are due to IBS symptoms.

Natren® Healthy Trinity®

IBS gained broad public attention when highprofile sufferer John Lloyd, former British Tennis Number One, was featured in the Daily Mail with his personal experience of over 20 years’ suffering of the debilitating condition - that is, until he came across Natren’s Healthy Trinity. Lloyd maintains that his extraordinary success in overcoming IBS was due to Healthy Trinity capsules – a unique CAM remedy in the form of high-strength, effective probiotics: living beneficial bacteria that, in sufficient doses, yield a diverse range of health benefits.

To date, more than 10,000 research articles have been published on beneficial probiotic bacteria in every prestigious medical journal, including JAMA in the US and The Lancet in the UK; science is now validating the efficacy of probiotic therapy not only concerning digestive disorders, but also on overall health and well-being.
