Doctors usually have to use tools to diagnose IBD, such as X-ray, endoscopy, surgery, or biopsy. IBD of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are inflammatory bowel diseases. So, IBD is a structural disease.
IBS, on the other hand, is a functional disease. That means there is no inflammation in the gut, and the irritation may be caused by nerve system disturbance, although the stools may look different when it begins.
How can IBSshieldTM help? What are the mechanisms? And what are the advantages of IBSshieldTM over drugs like dicyclomine and hyoscyamine?
IBSshieldTM provides quick and sustained local energy to the GI track. It strengthens the tonnage of the pyloric sphincter and many sections of intestine, which might prevent food from moving too quickly through the stomach and irritates the intestine to cause spasms.
