IBS Natural Cure

would removing chlorine from drinking water by using a filter, reduce the symptoms of IBS?

IBS stands for irritable bowel syndrome

The use of chlorine in town tap water is used to ensure that dangerous bacteria and organisms are killed prior to human consumption. However, once this is achieved, it’s fine to filter out the chlorine before drinking. Some believe chlorine does have harmful effects on the body for IBS sufferers (see http://www.cfsn.com/ibs.html ) and as a cancer risk (see http://www.pure-earth.com/chlorine.html ). However, the conventional view is that chlorine use withing acceptable amounts is safe. However, who knows whether future studies will show harmful health effects of chlorine in water. So it may be good to remove the chlorine as a precautionary measure.

Although the exact cause of IBS is not known, some research suggests that a bacterial infection can sometimes trigger it (see http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/Irritable_bowel_syndrome.html ), so it may be beneficial to drink water that has been properly treated or filtered to further reduce exposure to harmful organisms. You need to check the filter you buy carefully to see what substances it filters out.

IBS sufferers should also stay well hydrated by drinking 6-8 glasses of water. Filtering your water and improving quality and taste will encourage you to drink enough water each day, see http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/ibs

Here is a good portable water bottle that filters to 0.1 micron and also adds minerals back into the water, http://www.topbuys.com.au/waterman-portable-ioniser-filter-waterman.aspx However, you should check with your doctor before you try anything new like this.
