Hi, I am 17 years old, and I was diagnosed with irritable bowel colon. I didn’t hear of this condition, and I would appreciate if someone with the same problem could tell me a few things about it.
Hi, I think you misunderstood your doctor. He probably said that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affected your colon. Anyway, this condition is very common today. It can even be diagnosed with young people like you. Irritable bowel syndrome is usually caused by unhealthy food with lot of fat, lack of healthy food with natural fibers, too much coffee and alcohol, and by last and not least important thing-stress. Do you recognize any of these things in your every day habits? They are destroying your colon, and you’re not even aware of it. Colon’s porpoise is to absorb water and nutrients from partially digested food, and to send the rest out of the body. If you drink sodas or eat junky food, you’re making your colon too much trouble.
