Heal IBS Naturally with Ayurveda & Functional Medicine
What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Why Does It Happen?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional gut disorder that causes unpredictable digestion, bloating, and discomfort. It affects the gut-brain connection and is often triggered by stress, food sensitivities, gut infections, and poor digestion.
🔹 Ayurveda identifies IBS as a Vata-Pitta imbalance, leading to irregular bowel movements, inflammation, and gas. Functional medicine sees IBS as a result of gut dysbiosis, bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and leaky gut.
Common Symptoms of IBS:
✔ Chronic constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between both
✔ Abdominal pain & cramping
✔ Bloating, excessive gas & burping
✔ Food sensitivities & poor digestion
✔ Urgent bowel movements after eating
✔ Anxiety, stress, and fatigue
✔ White coating on the tongue (sign of gut imbalance)
Why Conventional IBS Treatments Often Fail
🚫 No Root Cause Approach – IBS medications only manage symptoms without fixing gut inflammation or bacterial imbalances.
🚫 Misdiagnosed as a Stress Disorder – IBS is often dismissed as “just stress-related,” ignoring gut health imbalances.
🚫 No Focus on SIBO & Gut Microbiome – Many IBS cases stem from Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), which needs targeted treatment.
🚫 One-Size-Fits-All Diets Don’t Work – Low FODMAP and elimination diets can provide relief but don’t heal the gut long-term.

Unlike conventional medicine, Ayurveda & Functional Medicine focus on restoring gut balance, reducing inflammation, and healing digestion at its root.
