Possibility of fluoride adding to IBS symptoms.       07/29/08 01:33 AM Edit Reply Quote Sarah Nerd Reged: 06/10/08 Posts: 2 Loc: Fall River, Massachusetts Recently, I have been doing some extensive research trying to find what factors cause IBS. I, personally, have come to the conclusion that it is related to hypersensitivity to certain components of food and greatly to fluoride. I'm almost certain this won't be received well, but please do review the information given here. I don't care if I'm flamed at all. I only care that there is a possibility of understanding what causes IBS and curing or reducing it. Here is some of the information I have gathered. SYMPTOMS: Nausea; loss of appetite; pain in the stomach; gas formation and 'bloated' feeling; constipation, followed by intermittent diarrhea; head ache. Scientists have found that chronic intake of fluoride can seriously affect the gastric mucosa (the cells that excrete the fluid which is required to aid digestion and to enable the comfortable passage of food through the bowel). Healthy cells are covered in tiny hairs called microvilli. Fluoride-damaged cells show broken microvilli and, eventually, an unhealthy "cracked clay" appearance. These cells are so damaged that normal function is impaired, leading to pain and suffering - "irritable bowel syndrome." HEALTH EFFECTS: Fluoride & the Gastrointestinal Tract. Avoid fluoride to cure IBS. In hypersensitive individuals... Fluoride in bottled water. IBS like symptoms from fluoride. Discussion of fluoride in teas, food, and water. Wikipedia article on opposition of fluoridated water supplies. Surprisingly, it's missing quite a few recorded reactions to fluoride. A chart comparing fluoride to lead and arsenic. Fluoride Action Network Petition to end fluoridation. Do not feel obligated to sign. The information is just here for your future needs. If you think you may be suffering from a reaction to fluoride, please keep in mind that fluoridated tap water contains 1 part per million(ppm) of fluoride, soy milk contains 1.2 ppm, and tea 32 ppm. Safe alternatives for beverages may be Poland Springs water at .1 ppm and Propel Fitness water at .02 ppm. IMPORTANT: Please, scrutinize any information you get. I am only trying to help and by no means claim that I am absolutely correct. There are almost undoubtedly other factors that cause IBS, and I encourage everyone to research the effects of fluoride and any other suspected causes. Note: This in no way invalidates Heather's work with the Eating For IBS diet. She gives very crucial and insightful information for healthy living.
