So many entrepreneurs suffer with I.B.S. The reason? In one word: STRESS.

***What's Stress Doing To Your Bowels?***

Emotional stress causes you to release ?cortisol?, a stress hormone. Cortisol signals your body that there's a new problem, requiring immediate attention. Your body does what it must to solve this problem, taking energy away from your normal digestive processes.

The longer you're under stress, the more your I.B.S. will be aggravated.

But there's hope: new evidence shows what REALLY causes I.B.S., and it's something your doctor has probably NOT investigated.

Later in this article, I'll give you 5 relieving tips, and I'll tell you how to learn the 5 mistakes you're making every time you eat, so you can start relieving your I.B.S. today. But first, let me reveal the root cause of your symptoms.

***"HELP! What's Going On?"***

Let's start with constipation. The early stages of constipation begin when you do not chew your food thoroughly enough. When you don't chew thoroughly, your saliva doesn't interact with your food long enough to initiate carbohydrate digestion.

You see, digestion begins in the mouth, and saliva is the first step of the digestive process. When you swallow food before it's adequately chewed, you place an extra burden on your stomach and pancreas. This sets the stage for constipation, excessive gas, burping, painful bloating, and a host of other digestive complications.

***There's More, And Most Doctors DON'T Know***

There's a second reason why inadequate chewing leads to constipation- and sadly, it's a reason about which many doctors are ignorant. It has to do with hydrochloric acid production.

Once you swallow your food, your stomach receives ?HCl?, or Hydrochloric Acid, from your blood. It takes approximately 1 hour for your stomach to receive enough HCl. HCl is extremely acidic, and vitally necessary in the digestive process.

When the appropriate pH level in the stomach is reached, your body can now accomplish two essential tasks:

1. Protein digestion

2. Mineral absorption

Now, here's the problem: if your digestive process is compromised, the minerals from your food are inadequately absorbed for use in the body. One of these minerals is sodium.

Why is sodium so important? Sodium is a key player in the formation of bile, a substance that allows you to move your bowels smoothly. Perhaps you've heard the term, ?bile salts?.

If you're not absorbing sodium, your bile will be too thick, and you'll become constipated. The thicker your bile, the worse your constipation!

So, if your stomach is already exhausted and your digestive organs are stressed because you're swallowing your food in chunks, can you be at all surprised that the production of HCl in your stomach is also faulty?

An incredible amount of your stomach's energy is wasted by cleaning up large portions of unchewed food strains. When this occurs, HCl production will be compromised, you will not properly absorb your food's minerals, you will not absorb enough sodium, your bile will be too thick, and you'll become constipated.

Phew!

Does this mean you should eat more salt? NO!

Consuming more salt in your diet is NOT the answer. The answer begins with chewing more thoroughly. Without the added burden of digesting big chunks of food, your digestive system will have a better success rate of absorbing the sodium it needs from the food you're already eating.

Your bile will be the correct thickness, and your bowels will move more regularly.

***"What About My DIARRHEA?"***

The diarrhea aspect of I.B.S. is caused when you are not properly digesting the sugars, fats and proteins you're consuming.

Why did I emphasize the word ?digesting??

Let me ask you a question: you've probably heard the phrase, ?You are what you eat.? That's a correct statement, right? Actually? it's completely false!

The truth is, you are what you digest: you're the nutrients you absorb from your food, and assimilate throughout your body for proper utilization.

You can eat all of the apples in the world, but if you cannot digest the apples? nutrients, you will not receive much nutritional benefit at all.

Back to the cause of diarrhea, it's NOT that you need to eat more sugars, fats or proteins. That would not solve the problem, because your digestive organs are not working properly. You're not able to digest the sugars, fats and proteins you're already eating.

So, what happens when you can't digest your food? Undigested food molecules accumulate within your small and large intestines. These food particles irritate and inflame your digestive tract, setting the stage for ?leaky gut syndrome?.

But guess what? your body is smart! It knows that these undigested food particles are causing real problems. Your body attempts to flush these food particles from your system- giving you diarrhea!

***5 Naturally-Relieving Tips, and 5 Mistakes To Avoid***

Yes, there is hope for relief.

The best answer for long-term relief is to have your digestive system properly analyzed for the above types of digestive issues, and to be placed on a natural remedy specific to your situation.

But for right now, make sure you're doing these 5 things:

1.Consume three servings per day of raw, organic fruits and vegetables. They must be raw! Raw produce supplies your body with digestive enzymes necessary to help digest your food.

2.Eliminate wheat gluten from your diet for 2 weeks, and see if you notice any relief. Wheat gluten is a trigger food for many I.B.S. sufferers. One of the best, largest gluten-free product lines is Bob's Red Mill, at bobsredmill.com.

3.Eliminate dairy from your diet. Lactose is a milk sugar, and is a trigger for many cases of I.B.S. See if you notice any difference after 2 weeks. Check food labels for ?whey?, a hidden dairy ingredient.

4.To help relieve constipation, make sure you consume enough fiber in your diet. But don't be fooled? some of the foods you think are high-fiber may actually be low-fiber, so be sure to read food labels.

5.Do your best to decrease emotional stress! Take 5 minute breaks every 90 minutes, and try to eat in a calm environment.
