bacteria that do much to promote health both in the digestive tract and throughout the body. Dysbiosis is digestive tract microbe imbalance characterized by insufficient numbers of beneficial probiotic organisms, and/or the excessive presence of pathogenic (harmful) bacteria, yeast organisms, or even parasites. In many children with symptoms of IBS much of the inflammation and irrita- tion to the bowel is caused by dysbiosis. How does dysbiosis happen in a child? The use and overuse of antibiotics, a high refined-carbohydrate, low fiber diet, steroid use (inhalers, topical steroids for eczema), an inheritance of microbe imbalance passed on from parents (perhaps even in utero), the toxic impact of food intolerances – any of these negative influences can tip the balance of healthy vs. unhealthy microbes in the bowel.


In natural medicine, special stool tests (more comprehensive than standard lab or hospital testing of stool) can be used to evaluate the levels of probiotic and dysbiotic microbes, to identify which herbs or other natural antimicrobials would be most effec- tive to reduce any harmful microbes which are detected, and to get specific information about digestive enzyme function, nutrient absorption, and acid-base balance in the bowel. This provides a good basis for cor- recting dysbiosis and ensuring that going forward, a healthier digestive-tract environ- ment is in place to better support the survival of probiotic organisms.


Nourish the Bowel It may seem odd to think of nourishing


the bowel – we usually think of the intestine as helping us to get nourishment from our food – but yes, our intestinal cells, and the tiny, beneficial microbes (probiotics) that live in the digestive tract, all rely on us to feed them, and feed them well. Unfortu- nately, the Standard American Diet, often


referred to as the SAD, offers little of the nutrition our digestive tracts need to func- tion properly, and plenty to throw them off balance. White foods such as refined sugars and flours; processed foods, low in fiber and enzymes, flavor-enhanced and engineered for long-distance travel and high profit at the expense of nutritional quality; sweetened beverages, which have largely replaced that strange-tasting colorless liquid, water, in our children’s diets - these staples of the modern, ever “new and improved” food culture seri- ously disrupt the natural balance of diges- tion, nutrient absorption and elimination. It’s not very surprising, given the dismally poor- quality diets on which many of our overfed but undernourished children subsist, that their digestive tracts eventually rebel. If your child’s digestive tract is in rebellion (in about a quarter of IBS sufferers, gastritis or reflux also is an issue) you will need to feed her or him differently – better! – in order to resolve bowel irritability.


Basics of a Better Bowel Diet What is a “better bowel” way of eating?


It provides fiber for good microbes to eat, so they can produce substances called benefi- cial short chain fatty acids, or SCFAs, which actually nourish the intestinal cells. Fiber also makes for a fuller bowel, which stimu- lates the muscles in the intestinal wall to move things along, promoting a more regu- lar bowel movement. This way of eating just naturally creates a healthy acid/base balance (pH) in the stomach and small intestine, so that digestive enzymes can be activated and proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from food are broken down into particles that are well- absorbed through the healthy intestinal wall. A “better bowel” way of eating forms a pH that also allows healthy bacteria (probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus) to survive and thrive, and provides nutrients like amino acids, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals
