Pathologies of organic origin are commonly thought to be the exclusive realm of medical treatment and not part of the mainstay of chiropractic care. The clinical observations of a patient presenting with autism, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, strabismus, and illness susceptibility are reported. The irritable bowel syndrome was described by her parents as profuse loose bowel movements which would occur 4 times a day with the need to change clothes. They were unable to correlate any food sensitivities or pattern to the bowel movements. The patient's mother also noted that her IBS had improved to the point of 1-2 loose bowel movements per day with only an occasional need to change clothes. She noted that the patient was now beginning to recognize bowel and bladder functions on her own. The IBS continued to improve with only one loose bowel movement per day at the most and only a rare clothing change. Her IBS has almost completely resolved with

WALTHAM, Mass., October 17, 2005 - Dynogen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that it has initiated a Phase II proof-of-concept trial of DDP225 for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d), and the first patients have been dosed. DDP225 is an orally-active compound that targets two key pathways that control the gastrointestinal (GI) system, thus giving it the potential to address multiple symptoms associated with IBS-d. This DDP225 Phase II trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study that is enrolling patients with IBS-d at multiple centers in Canada and is assessing safety and pharmacodynamic efficacy as well as symptom-based endpoints. In September 2005, Dynogen began dosing patients in a Phase II study of DDP733 for the treatment of patients with constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-c), the other common form of IBS. "The achievement of this important milestone for Dynogen highlights the successful implementation of our in-licensing strategy.

Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS is quite common with between 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 people affected. IBS is an upset in the natural rhythm of the bowel. When you swallow, the food is carried to your stomach and then on through the bowel on a wave of muscle that squeezes the food through. If the rhythm speeds up you will find you get more diarrhoea or loose bowel movements and if it slows down you will get more constipation and bloating. IBS may also be caused by an upset in the balance of good and bad bacteria in your bowel. The good bacteria that are in probiotic yoghurts help to regulate the rhythm of the bowel and to keep it in good working order. Linseeds are especially good for the bowel, try taking 1 teaspoon a day at the start and gradually working up to 1 tablespoon a day. When you are stressed the way the body sends blood to the bowel changes and the bowel does not get as much blood as normal. Remember it can take 6 weeks to 3 months for your irritable bowel

If you've been experiencing re c u rrent bowel problems for several months with no other apparent illness, you may be among the many women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I rritable bowel syndrome is a common d i s o rder characterized by abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and gas. The condition has been known by a variety of names, including irr i t a b l e colon, spastic colon, mucous colitis, and functional bowel disease, reflecting the general lack of understanding surro u n d-ing IBS even to this day. The solid mate-rial that remains then travels down the left side of the colon, where it collects as stool until you have a bowel movement. These muscle movements include several s t rong contractions per day, some of which result in a bowel movement. - Abdominal pain or cramping, which is usually relieved by a bowel movement - Crampy urge to move the bowels with an inability to do so will ask about abdominal pain accom-panied by a change

What is irritable bowel syndrome? Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder of the large intestine (colon). It is the most common gastrointestinal disorder. It affects twice as many women as men and usually begins in early adult life. Although IBS can cause much distress, it does not lead to life-threatening disease. Sometimes the spasm delays bowel movements. At other times it may lead to more rapid passage of bowel movements, resulting in diarrhea. Your symptoms may be temporarily relieved by having a bowel movement. Depending on your history and exam, your provider may do the following tests to look for other possible causes of your symptoms: tests of bowel movement samples to check for blood and infection x-rays colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy (procedures that allow your provider to see the inside of your colon with a thin, flexible tube
