The College News Volume V. No. 17 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1919 Price 5 Cent* ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PLANS ANNIVERSARY PARTY Will Ghre Dance Saturday to Mark Tenth Birthday of New Gymnasium In celebration of the opening of the gymnasium, on Washington's Birthday ten years ago, the Athletic Association will give a dance for its members Satur- day evening. Marjorie Young '08 and Cynthia Wesson '09, presidents of the as- sociation during the planning and build- ing of the gymnasium, have been invited for the occasion. The orchestra will play and refreshments will be Berved. Bryn Mawr's first gymnasium was a red brick building built just over the swimming pool and about the same size. In February, 1908, the Athletic Associa- tion undertook to raise money to enlarge this. They soon found that mere enlarg- ing would not be satisfactory, and in three months collected $20,000 toward a new gymnasium, President Thomas rais- ing the extra $13,000 necessary to com- plete the fund. The corner-stone was laid the following autumn, and the gymnasium opened on February 22, 1909. As members of the first class that had drilled In the old gym- nasium, Miss Martha Thomas '90, Miss Harriet Randolph '89. Mrs. J. M. Harris (S. Weygandt '89), and Mrs. W. C. Ladd (A, Rhoads '89), were given seats on the platform at the formal opening. The leaded windows in the gymnasium were given by the Claas of 1912 In its freshman year. M. JAMES 11 SILVER BAY LEADER Helen James 'tl has been chosen leader of the Bryn Mpwr delegation to the Y. W. C. A. conference at Silver Bay in June. Miss James waa in the Bryn Mawr dele- gation to the conference last year and was Bryn Mawr's tennis representative. The reat of the delegation will be chosen later In the spring, after an op- portunity has been given to all who are interested to sign. Bryn Mawr is limited to 25 delegates.

Smith '20, E. Cope '21, and J. Fisher '22. Bates House and Silver Bay are among the immediate activities to be adver- tised.

A. bulletin board In Taylor as a means of keeping its work before the public. The new advertising committee will serve until this year's administration goes out of office. If it is then made a permanent department, the new members will be elected by classes. 1920 Has Long Lead in Race For Athletic Championship Largely because of the three records broken by them, 1920 gained more points from the swimming meet toward the all- around athletic championship than did the victors, 1921. The 38 counts which fall to 1920 give them a total of 94 points In the championship race. 1919, the near- est competitors, have 44 points, none of which were gained in the late meet. Next to 1920, the Freshmen secured most points from the meet, coming out 25 to the good, with a present total of 38. 1921. who made 21 points, stands fourth with a total of 22.

Third place went to 1922 with 24 points, the Seniors securing 10 points in fourth. Individual laurels went to the evens, who broke five records and secured the first two individual places. K.

Pets will eat almost anything
Sunday, May 5, 2013
Associated Press
If caught early, a vet can remove the item from inside the animal and everything will be fine. If not, the pet's intestines will start to die because blood can't get through, Halligan said. Removing the intestine is an option if the obstruction is eventually found.
Halligan said she made the dog vomit and "sure enough, we pulled a foot-long tube sock out of this miniature apricot poodle, and the dog was fine."
Kelleher thought he had "Jackproofed" his apartment. But just a few days ago, the dog ate a whole bag of hamburger rolls after pulling it off a kitchen counter. |

These fit great, great traction, would recommend. Only down side it they have a fair amount of cloth which wont wipe clean like leather. If you are concerned about your game and want a nice light golf shoe I would suggest these, if you want to have the whitest shoes two months from now you may want to stick to all leather.
bought for my son, he likes the lower profile. runs a little narrow
Very comfortable shoe, nice grip, and I like the fact that these came in wide width sizes.

The College News Volume IV. No. 2 BRYN MAWR, PA., OCTOBER 10, 1917 Price 5 Cents "YANKEE DOODLE" UNDISCOVERED PARADE SONS WRITTEN ON SENIOR STEPS - AND LEARNED RENEATH PEMBROKE ARCH Craft versus Force was the order of the four days preceding Parade Night last week. Freshmen and Juniors, for the second time in the history of the college, succeeded in keeping the Parade Song from the Sophomores, who this year used police rather than detective methods. On Thursday night, 1921 marched from Pem- broke Arch to the hockey field to the strains of "Yankee Doodle", and only on their return to the Arch realized that 1920 had no parody for their song. All last week the Sophomores shad- owed such Freshmen and Juniors as were unhappy enough to come under their suspicion. The Freshman chairman was not allowed even to sleep in quiet, and efforts were made to prevent any communication between her and her classmates or members of 1919. It was not until Thursday afternoon that she contrived to enter the Junior President's room; and once safely locked in that rOom she learned the words of the song, and formed her plans for the evening. The song, which was written by two Freshmen sitting on Senior Steps at 5.30 a. m., on the first day of college, was.

So many men have left 139 students. President Thomas made college never to return to their studies, her opening speech last Wednesday and perhaps never to return at all, that morning. President Thomas said in part: If is always a pleasure to welcome the students coming back after the long sum- mer vacation and filling our grey build- ings and silent campus with movement and life. But to-day we welcome you I highest duty to your country to be well with more pleasure and satisfaction than ! prepared. the burden of intelligent leadership will fail on college women and the few col- lege men who will take their degrees within the next few years. You will be called on to meet this test immediately on leaving college. It is therefore your INVESTIGATOR OF POLAND IN 1916 WILL SPEAK AT RED CROSS WEEK END ever before. In times like these the young men and young women who are in college form a very important part of that great patriotic youthful army which is called to serve the United States. Many of our brothers of the draft age are already training themselves for ser- vice in military camps and will join that great citizen army which has been called by the President of the United States "the army of freedom", and their places will be taken when they march away by many others of your brothers who, in their turn, will fight what I confidently believe is "the good fight" of faith and Pacifists Lack Discrimination I am shocked to find how many of our last year's Freshman class have left col- lege for reasons connected with war. It seems to me a grave mistake of judg- ment. Everything in life is a question of comparative values. True wisdom con- sists in Just and true discrimination.

Who Would It Be?
Until the fall of 1998, I hadn't really noticed. Three baseball players would make me notice.
I didn't realize how much baseball meant to people until Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey, Jr. showed me as they chased Roger Maris' single-season record of 61 home runs.
I had worked at the Baseball Hall of Fame, in the Museum Store, four years in 1998, and it was easy to see the power baseball had on visitors and staff alike that summer, albeit with a twinge of sadness that Maris' record might be broken. Weathering the stormy 1994 strike, baseball needed a ray of light. The chase represented hope and the thrill of it was contagious. People were talking about it everywhere. It gave people a common bond and gave those without much baseball knowledge, like myself, a chance to belong. Our exhibits crew hung a gigantic scoreboard in the lobby only adding to the excitement.
Would the record be broken? When? Who would it be?
September 8, 1998: Mark McGwire breaks the record with home run number 62. What makes it special to me is the very next day, September 9, we received his uniform, bat and ball. Escorted by New York State Police, then Executive Director of Communications and Education – now Hall of Fame President – Jeff Idelson, was carrying the bat in a large, black duffle bag into the Hall of Fame as I was walking out.
I immediately thought, "How COOL is THIS? Those things were just making baseball history and now they're in Cooperstown! I'm WITNESSING THIS. I WORK HERE!"
I finally understood how our visitors feel when they see artifacts that bring back their favorite memories or from moments in baseball history they've always wanted to see. When McGwire's artifacts were displayed in the lobby, I was able to see, for the first time, how people reacted. It was heartwarming to see people smile, talk history and make personal connections. Baseball became more than just a game to me in those moments, and that's what our new One for the Books exhibit opening May 28 is all about.
I've worked here for 17 years and I'll always be grateful to the Chase for granting me a deeper appreciation for baseball history and reminding me how fun it is to work here.

Nice post but its a grand shame and miscarriage of justice that Roger Maris's record still has an asterisk and he was never inducted into the HOF — he was worthy on his own merits prior to the record. Equally apalling is that MCGuire and Sosa used drugs to help their achievement. One of the best books I ever read was Roger Maris: Baseball's Reluctant Hero — more than a sports bio its a great read. Gets a little long with the family tree stuff at points but really is a tribute to the class act Maris was on the field and off.

Poison ivy , oak, or sumac poisoning is an allergic reaction that results from touching the sap of these plants. The sap may be on the plant, in the ashes of burned plants, on an animal, or on other objects that came in contact with the plant, such as clothing, garden tools, and sports equipment.
Small amounts of sap can remain under a person's fingernails for several days unless it is deliberately removed with very good cleaning.
This family of plants (Toxicodendron) is hardy and difficult to eradicate. They are found in every state of the continental United States. They grow best along cool streams and lakes and luxuriate if it is also sunny and hot. They do not grow in Alaska or Hawaii, and do not survive well above 1500 m (5000 feet), in deserts, or in rainforests.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poison oak; Poison sumac; Sumac - poisonous; Oak - poisonous; Ivy - poisonous
One poisonous ingredient is the chemical urushiol.
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
In addition to the skin, symptoms can affect the eyes and mouth.
The rash may be spread by touching undried sap and moving it around the skin.
Wash the area immediately with soap and water. Quickly washing the area can prevent a reaction, but it doesn't usually help if done more than 1 hour after touching the plant's sap. Flush the eyes out with water.
Carefully wash any contaminated objects or clothing alone in hot soapy water. Do not let the items touch any other clothing or materials.
An over-the-counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or a steroid cream may help relieve itching.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take a sample of the plant with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
Unless the reaction is severe, you will probably not need to visit the emergency room. If you are concerned, call your doctor or poison control.
At the doctor's office, you may receive:
Life-threatening reactions may occur if the poisonous ingredients are swallowed or are breathed in (which can happen when the plants are burned).
Typical skin rashes usually go away without any long-term problems. A skin infection may develop if the affected areas are not kept clean.
Wear protective clothing whenever possible when travelling through terrain which is known to harbor these plants. Do not touch or eat any plant with which you are not familiar. Wash your hands after working in the garden or walking in the woods.

Hartford Political Legend Celebrated in the New CPTV Documentary, The Last Bipartisan: A Tribute to Peter Kelly
Premieres Sunday, October 24 at 10:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) and online in HD at cpbn.org, keyword: Peter Kelly
With little more than two weeks to go before the end of a particularly rough election season, a new CPTV documentary celebrates a man who counts numerous friends and colleagues from both sides of the aisle, Hartford's Peter Kelly. The Last Bipartisan: A Tribute to Peter Kelly – a bipartisan celebration of Kelly's life and good works – premieres on Sunday, October 24 at 10:30 p.m. on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV). In addition, this special will be the first original Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN) production to be the broadcast in HD on the web.
With segments taped on June 8, 2010, at Hartford's Connecticut Convention Center and emceed by CNN's Mary Matalin and Ed Rollins, the 30-minute documentary features video tributes to Kelly from former President Jimmy Carter; former Vice President Al Gore; United States Senators Christopher Dodd and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Mark Warner of Virginia; Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi; Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives Steny Hoyer; Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro; former Republican and Democratic National Committee Chairmen Frank Fahrenkopf and Charles Manatt, respectively; and former Hartford Courant Washington Bureau Chief David Lightman.
Participants in the event lauded Peter Kelly's contributions to the community, the country and the world. "He is an extremely loyal friend, somebody you can always rely on," commented former Vice President Gore. Colleague Riva Levinson continued, "He is the father of the democracy movement," noting Kelly's primacy in recognizing and acting on the opportunity to spread democracy worldwide after the fall of the Soviet Union. Former President Jimmy Carter paid tribute to Kelly by saying, "As chairman of the board for the Malta House of Care, you're improving access to free primary healthcare services for thousands of uninsured individuals."
Senator Joe Lieberman recounted a story which explains his indebtedness to Kelly. Because of Kelly's suggestion in 1985 that he run for senator against Lowell Weicker in 1988, Lieberman had a chance to talk about that possibility with his father, who was dying of cancer, and would not live to see his son win the office.
While the documentary is primarily a toast to Kelly, there also is some good-natured roasting from his friends and colleagues, including some special surprises from Kelly's friends, family and the Georgetown Chimes, a choral group he joined in his undergraduate college days.
The Last Bipartisan was produced by former Connecticut Public Broadcasting Media Lab interns Julia Kwon and Sam Hockaday. The executive producer of the documentary is Paul Pfeffer, CPBN manager of online content. "It was a very rich educational experience," Pfeffer recognized. "Because of the opportunity to learn history from the people who made it, as well as the challenge of capturing those stories and presenting them faithfully and accurately…This project tested the abilities of a very talented group of young content producers." The CPBN Media Lab instructs and trains undergraduate and post-graduate students in journalism and video/web production. Interviews and research were conducted by interns Jessie Sawyer and Anna Nalitov. Open animation was created by Ross Mortensen, based on an original caricature by Ed Valtman, former Hartford Courant political cartoonist. Picture animation was created by Hockaday and Chris Lawhorn. Many other Media Lab interns made significant contributions, including Tyler Varsell, Stephanie Pelletier, Megan Vann and Nicole Walton from the University of Hartford, David Huck and Julia Ballek from the University of Connecticut, Megan Clark from Bryn Mawr, Hillary Malin from Eastern Connecticut State University, Chris Mathews from Springfield College and Katherine Amershadian from Mitchell College.

That leaves him starting Joique Bell and Jackie Battle at RB in a week in which he has to win or his team falls to 1-5. WTF? Is he purposely tanking?

Phone: 212-535-7710
(TTY: 212-650-2921)The Met's spring 2013 Costume Institute exhibition, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, will examine punk's impact on high fashion from the movement's birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition will include original punk garments and recent, directional fashion to illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk's visual symbols.
Focusing on the relationship between the punk concept of "do-it-yourself" and the couture concept of "made-to-measure," the seven galleries will be organized around the materials, techniques, and embellishments associated with the anti-establishment style. Themes will include New York and London, which will tell punk's origin story as a tale of two cities, followed by Clothes for Heroes and four manifestations of the D.I.Y. aesthetic—Hardware, Bricolage, Graffiti and Agitprop, and Destroy.
Presented as an immersive multimedia, multisensory experience, the clothes will be animated with period music videos and soundscaping audio techniques.

Beans and peas are unique foods
How to count beans and peas in the USDA food patterns:
Generally, individuals who regularly eat meat, poultry, and fish would count beans and peas in the Vegetable Group. Vegetarians, vegans, and individuals who seldom eat meat, poultry, or fish would count some of the beans and peas they eat in the Protein Foods Group. Here´s an example for both ways:Count the number of ounce-equivalents of all meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds eaten.
If the total is equal to or more than the suggested intake from the Protein Foods Group (which ranges from 2 ounce-equivalents at 1000 calories to 7 ounce-equivalents at 2800 calories and above) then count any beans or peas eaten as part of the beans and peas subgroup in the Vegetable Group.OR
If the total is less than the suggested intake from the Protein Foods Group, then count any beans and peas eaten toward the suggested intake level until it is reached. (One-fourth cup of cooked beans or peas counts as 1 ounce equivalent in the Protein Foods Group.) After the suggested intake level in the Protein Foods Group is reached, count any additional beans or peas eaten as part of the beans and peas subgroup in the Vegetable Group.
Advices to people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in GUNNISON COLORADO
What is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
Irritable bowel syndrome* (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, meaning that the symptoms are caused by changes in how the GI tract works. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anusthe opening where stool leaves your body. Food is digested, or broken down, in the GI tract.
*See the Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say words in bold type.
IBS is a group of symptoms that occur together, not a disease. Symptoms can come and go repeatedly without signs of damage to the GI tract.
What are the symptoms of IBS?
The most common symptoms of IBS include pain or discomfort in your abdomenthe area between your chest and hipsand changes in your bowel habits. The pain or discomfort of IBS may be reported as cramping and
- starts when you have bowel movements more or less often than usual
- starts when your stool appears looser and more watery or harder and more lumpy than usual
- goes away after a bowel movement
The changes in bowel habits with IBS may be diarrhea, constipation, or both.
Symptoms of diarrhea are
- passing stools three or more times a day
- having loose, watery stools
- feeling an urgent need to have a bowel movement
Symptoms of constipation are
- passing fewer than three stools in a week
- having hard, dry stools
- straining to have a bowel movement
Some people with IBS have only diarrhea or only constipation. Some people have symptoms of both diarrhea and constipation or have diarrhea sometimes and constipation other times. People often have symptoms after eating a meal.
Other symptoms of IBS are
- whitish mucusa clear liquid made by the intestinesin the stool
- a swollen or bloated abdomen
- the feeling that you havent finished a bowel movement
Women with IBS often have more symptoms during their menstrual periods.
IBS is a chronic disorder, meaning it lasts a long time, often years. However, the symptoms may come and go. You may have IBS if
- you have had symptoms at least three times a month for the past 3 months
- your symptoms first started at least 6 months ago
While IBS can be painful, it doesnt lead to other health problems or damage the GI tract.
[Top]What causes IBS?
Doctors are not sure what causes IBS. Researchers are studying the following possible causes of IBS:
- Brain-gut signal problems. Signals between your brain and the nerves of your gut, or small and large intestines, control how your gut works. Problems with brain-gut signals may cause IBS symptoms, such as changes in your bowel habits and pain or discomfort.
- Colon muscle problems. The muscles of your colon, part of your large intestine, may not work normally. The muscles may contract, or tighten, too much. These contractions may move stool through your gut too quickly, causing cramping and diarrhea during or shortly after a meal, or slow the movement of stool, causing constipation.
- Sensitive nerves. The nerves in your gut may be extra sensitive, causing you to feel more pain or discomfort than normal when gas or stool is in the gut.
- Mental health issues. Psychological, or mental health, issues such as anxiety or depression may be related to IBS in some people. Stress can make the nerves of your gut more sensitive, causing more discomfort and emotional distress.
- Infections. A bacterial infection in the GI tract may cause some people to develop IBS.
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Normally, few bacteria live in the small intestine. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is an increase in the number or a change in the type of bacteria in the small intestine. These bacteria can produce extra gas and may also cause diarrhea and weight loss. Some researchers believe small intestinal bacterial overgrowth may lead to IBS; however, more research is needed to show a link between the two conditions.
How is IBS diagnosed?
Your doctor may be able to diagnose IBS based on your symptoms. Your doctor may not need to do medical tests or may do a limited number of tests.
Your doctor will ask about your
- medical history
- eating habits
- medicine use
Your doctor will look for a certain pattern in your symptoms. Your doctor can diagnose IBS by using symptom-based standards such as the Rome criteria. Based on the Rome criteria, IBS may be diagnosed if
- your symptoms started at least 6 months ago
- you have had abdominal pain or discomfort at least three times a month for the past 3 months
- your abdominal pain or discomfort has two or three of the following features:
- Your pain or discomfort improves after a bowel movement.
- When your pain or discomfort starts, you notice a change in how often you have a bowel movement.
- When your pain or discomfort starts, you notice a change in the way your stools look.
Your doctor will also conduct a physical exam and may perform blood tests to make sure you dont have other health problems. IBS can have the same symptoms as other health problems, so more tests may be needed. If any blood tests suggest you may have another health problem, your doctor might also perform the following tests:
- Stool test. A stool test is used to check stool for blood or parasites, which are tiny organisms found in contaminated food or water. Your doctor will give you a container for catching and storing the stool. You will return the stool sample to your doctor or a commercial facility. The sample will be sent to a lab to check for blood or parasites. Your doctor may also check for blood in stool by examining your rectumthe lower end of the large intestine leading to the anusduring your physical exam.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is used to look inside your rectum and lower colon. This test is used to look inside the rectum and lower colon. The test is performed at a hospital or an outpatient center by a gastroenterologista doctor who specializes in digestive diseases. Anesthesia is usually not needed. Your doctor will give you written bowel prep instructions to follow at home before the test. You may need to follow a clear liquid diet for 1 to 3 days before the test. You may also need a laxative or enema the night before the test. You may also have one or more enemas about 2 hours before the procedure.
For the test, you will lie on a table while the doctor inserts a flexible tube into your anus. A small camera on the tube sends a video image of the intestinal lining to a computer screen. The test can show problems in the rectum or lower colon that may be causing your symptoms.
You can usually go back to your normal diet after the test, though you may have cramping or bloating during the first hour after the test. - Colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is used to look inside your rectum and entire colon. The test is performed at a hospital or an outpatient center by a gastroenterologist. Youll be given a light sedative and possibly pain medicine to help you relax. Your doctor will give you written bowel prep instructions to follow at home before the test. You may need to follow a clear liquid diet for 1 to 3 days before the test. You may need to take laxatives and enemas the evening before the test.
For the test, you will lie on a table while the doctor inserts a flexible tube into your anus. A small camera on the tube sends a video image of the intestinal lining to a computer screen. The test can show problems in your colon that may be causing your symptoms.
Cramping or bloating may occur during the first hour after the test. Driving is not permitted for 24 hours after the test so that the sedative can wear off. Before the appointment, you should make plans for a ride home. By the next day, you should fully recover and go back to your normal diet.
How is IBS treated?
Irritable bowel syndrome is treated by relieving symptoms through
- changes in eating, diet, and nutrition
- medicine
- probiotics
- psychological therapy
You may have to try a few treatments to see what works best for you. Your doctor can help you find the right treatment plan.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Eating large meals can cause cramping and diarrhea in some people with IBS. If you experience these symptoms, try to change your eating patterns by eating four or five small meals a day.
Certain foods or drinks may make symptoms worse, such as
- foods high in fat
- some milk products
- drinks with alcohol or caffeine
- drinks with large amounts of artificial sweeteners, which are used in place of sugar
- beans, cabbage, and other foods that may cause gas
To find out if certain foods trigger your symptoms, keep a diary and track
- what you eat during the day
- what symptoms you have
- when symptoms occur
Take your notes to your doctor and talk about which foods seem to make your symptoms worse. You may need to avoid these foods or eat less of them.
Fiber may improve constipation symptoms caused by IBS because it makes stool soft and easier to pass. Fiber is found in foods such as whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that adults consume 21 to 38 grams of fiber a day.
While fiber may help constipation, it may not be enough to treat the abdominal discomfort or pain of IBS. In fact, some people with IBS may feel a bit more abdominal discomfort after adding more fiber to their diet. Add foods with fiber a little at a time to let your body get used to them. Too much fiber at once can cause gas, which can trigger symptoms in people with IBS.
Your doctor may give you medicine help relieve symptoms. Follow your doctors instructions when you use medicine to treat IBS. Talk with your doctor about possible side effects and what to do if you have them.
These medicines can lessen the symptoms of IBS:
- Laxatives treat constipation. Many kinds of laxatives are available. Your doctor can help you find the right laxative for you.
- Loperamide (Imodium) treats diarrhea.
- Antispasmodics help reduce muscle spasms in the intestines and help ease abdominal pain.
- Antidepressants in low doses can help relieve IBS symptoms.
- Lubiprostone (Amitiza) is prescribed for people who have IBS with constipation.
- Linaclotide (Linzess) is also prescribed for people who have IBS with constipation.
The antibiotic rifaximin can reduce bloating by treating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth; however, scientists are still debating the use of antibiotics to treat IBS and more research is needed.
Probiotics are live microorganismstiny organisms that can be seen only with a microscope. These microorganisms, most often bacteria, are like the microorganisms normally found in your GI tract. Studies have found that probiotics taken in large enough amounts improve symptoms of IBS; however, more research is needed. Probiotics can be found in dietary supplements, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, and in some foods, such as yogurt. Talk with your doctor before using probiotics, supplements, or any other complementary or alternative medical treatment. Read more at www.nccam.nih.gov/health/probiotics.
Psychological Therapy
Psychological therapy can help improve IBS symptoms.
- Talk therapy. Talk therapy may reduce stress and improve IBS symptoms. Two types of talk therapy used to treat IBS are cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic, or interpersonal, therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on your thoughts and actions. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how your emotions affect your IBS symptoms.
- Gut-directed hypnotherapy. In hypnotherapy, a therapist may help relax the muscles in your colon by putting you into a trancelike state.
- Mindfulness training. Mindfulness training can teach you to focus your attention on sensations occurring at the moment and to avoid catastrophizing, or worrying about the meaning of those sensations.
Does stress cause IBS?
Although stress does not cause IBS, if you already have IBS, stress can make your symptoms worse. In addition, simply having IBS symptoms can produce stress.
Learning to reduce stress can help improve IBS. With less stress, you may find you have less cramping and pain. You may also find it easier to manage your symptoms.
Meditation, exercise, hypnosis, and counseling may help lessen IBS symptoms. Getting enough sleep and changing life situations to make them less stressful may also help. You may need to try different activities to see what works best for you.
