Are You Experiencing These Symptoms:

• Irritable Bowel Symdrome (IBS)

Then Read This:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10-20% of the entire population. It is the number one disease seen and diagnosed by primary care physicians and gastroenterologists. This multi-faceted disorder may also be defined as spastic colon, and is extremely hard to diagnose.

However, getting an accurate diagnosis has proven even harder in today's clinical settings, as many individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often feel embarrassed and shy away from conventional physician assessments. As well, IBS is a functional disorder and does not manifest as inflammation, infection, or bleeding from the rectum, like the more serious Irritable Bowel Diseases (IBD).

Whether you have yet to visit your doctor for evaluation, or have been previously diagnosed, several treatment options, including natural supplementation, are available. A large number of individuals suffering from IBS are more likely to use over-the-counter medications to control the pain and discomfort of this condition. A practice that may prove detrimental to health if used consistently over an extended period of time. Moreover, the efficacy of current medicines prescribed for the symptom management of IBS is sporadic at best, because a measurement of disease severity is lacking.

However, one thing remains certain; particular foods, dairy products, dietary fats, and meats have all been shown to aggravate IBS. So much so, that persons with the disorder usually avoid foods that aggravate the condition, but contain the much-needed nutrients for disease support. In fact, dietary concerns account for nearly 60% of the questions asked to doctors regarding treatment of IBS.

Lomentum has been specifically designed for nutritional support purposes; ensuring that lacking dietary needs are met. The ingredients found in lomentum may act to decrease digestive problems and alleviate general IBS symptoms, while promoting the overall health of the gastrointestinal tract.

This is how it works...

Due to the individual-specific nature of IBS symptoms, many patients are frustrated with the lack of effectiveness from conventional treatments. Although much of the success garnered from natural supplements is anecdotal, one cannot overlook the success and claim of personal remedy which has resulted from the inclusion of all-natural supplements. The fact remains: natural-based treatments, or 'traditional medicines', have been used for years with great effectiveness.

Lomentum has been developed to ease the frustration of standard treatments. The ingredients found in Lomentum have been studied in various trials and lend support to their use. The Lomentum ingredient list includes:

• Probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and bacillus): Administration of probiotics may help resolve flora-imbalance related digestive problems, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In fact, in patients with IBS, fecal bacteria are altered as compared to normal controls. Another clinical study showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. plantarum are effective in improving severity scores of IBS symptoms.

• Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): Chamomile acts as an anti-spasmodic agent in the digestive tract which can be quite helpful in patients with IBS. An herbal preparation containing chamomile, peppermint, and caraway demonstrated the ability to significantly improve symptoms of upset stomach (dyspepsia) in a double-blind study of 120 patients when compared to placebo.

• Glutamine: The preferred fuel for cells of the GI tract, glutamine is an amino acid that also exerts a protective effect on the intestinal lining and plays a role in immune defenses. It is abundant in many foods but is easily broken down in the cooking process. The protective barrier may be compromised in some patients with IBS.

• Peppermint oil (enterically coated): Enteric-coated peppermint oil has been used for treating IBS in Europe for several years. An analysis of 16 clinical trials of enteric coated peppermint oil concluded that it may be the drug of first choice in IBS patients with non-serious constipation or diarrhea to alleviate general symptoms and to improve quality of life. A particular controlled trial showed that after 2 weeks of peppermint oil treatment, 75% of children experienced significant improvement in the severity of pain associated with IBS.

• Caraway oil (enterically coated): When used in combination with peppermint oil, caraway may relieve indigestion symptoms of pain, pressure, heaviness and fullness. When compared to cisparide (a pharmaceutical), caraway and peppermint oil have been shown to be comparable in efficacy for treating dyspepsia and intestinal symptoms.

• Gamma-oryzanol: Gamma-oryzanol is a natural compound isolated from rice bran oil. Animal studies show that gamma-oryzanol can suppress emotionally-induced propulsive activity in the gastrointestinal tract, which is thought to be associated with IBS.
   

Progressive Health has employed the use of enteric coating for ingredient delivery. This enteric coating acts as a barrier to the ingredients within the capsule and controls the location within the digestive system where it is absorbed; thereby maximizing the efficacy of Lomentum. Due to the high-absorption percentage and clinically reviewed success of nutrients contained in Progressive Health's unique IBS formula, the symptoms, discomfort, and potential nutrient inadequacies caused by your condition may be lessened; while a promotion of health and overall integrity of the gastrointestinal tract is maintained.

Lomentum-FAQs

How does IBS differ from Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis?

IBS symptoms present without blood, unlike the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. IBS is classified as a functional disorder, thus there is no demonstrable pathology in the colon or small bowel.

My friend works within the health care industry and has heard that the severity of IBS can be caused by some psychological disorder. Is this true?

To some extent. There have been several studies conducted on IBS and its relation to one's psychology. In fact, patients with IBS have been shown to present greater psychological disturbance (43-61%) than patients with other gastrointestinal diagnoses (20%). However this is not universal, as IBS sufferers who do not seek medical intervention are of a similar psychological profile as the general populous. The main point to remember is that (like other disease states) people respond differently to IBS and its related symptoms, and that this particular condition has been shown to coincide with a number of varying psychosocial factors.

Is IBS life-threatening?

No. Although IBS remains a very serious health condition, it is not a life-threatening disease. However, IBS patients do have higher rates of hospitalizations, absenteeism (e.g. work, school, etc.), poor life quality, surgery, and psychological disturbance, than others with different gastrointestinal disorders or those in the general population.

What are the prescribed medications used for IBS treatment?

Conventional medicines include:

• Anti-spasmodic drugs, anti-cholinergic drugs
  
• Antacids and anti-gas medications
  
• Anti-diarrheal medications/Opioid receptor agonists
  
• Prokinetic Agents
  
• Tricyclic antidepressants
  
• Smooth muscle relaxants

How do I know which treatments options will work for me; natural, synthetic, or a combination of both?

Nutritional supplements have proven extremely effective at replenishing the deficiencies resulting from IBS. This aids in symptom management and promotes integrity of the GI Tract. They are also well tolerated by the majority persons who use the included nutrients as an adjunct to existing treatment protocols. As far as conventional medicines are concerned, the only way to know for certain which treatment will work best for you is by consulting with your physician, and by going through an elimination process. Your doctor will evaluate the severity of your disease and recommend their preferred method of treatment, or treatments.

If I decide to order Lomentum, are Progressive Health's products sent discreetly?

Yes; Progressive Health respects your privacy. All orders will be shipped in a plain, unmarked envelope with a return address from Progressive Health Nutraceuticals Inc. (For more information about our shipping and billing policies, see Shipping and Billing below)

How soon can I expect to see results?

The results derived from Lomentum are dependant on both the individual and severity of condition. While a large number of customers yield immediate results, others may see results in only a few short weeks. Generally, we advise that you use the product continuously, for a minimum of 45 - 60 days.

Are there any side effects when taking Lomentum?

As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than IBS), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs.
