IBS-Side effect
I've suffered with IBS since I was 11, and I've accepted that it's just one of those things. It is normally brought on by episodes of emotional stress, which aren't always apparent at the time.
I also suffer with occasional "night cramps", and muscle twitches. Normally in my calf muscles. These are excruciatingly painful, and normally leave me with a bit of a limp the next day.
A few weeks ago I was at work, and a friend suggested that there may be a link between my IBS and the cramps. He suggested that my Colon may not be absorbing some of the minerals which aid the transfer of nerve impulses, and that I should eat more Bananas (Yuk!!)
Could there be a truth in this?
