We, Albert Harris and my wife Devine,
after many conversations with our patients, recommend using only the best home remedies.
Ashwagandha
Due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this root improves the body’s defense against auto immune diseases and protects against cellular damage caused by free radicals. As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha supports the body against stress, which may be the main cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is a great source of fibres. It not only helps with constipation but it also helps with diarrhea in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It acts as a colon cleans which may remove certain toxic and non-toxic elements that may be contributing to IBS flare-up. It also improves stool bulk and abdominal pain.

It produces substances that fight pain and decrease swelling (inflammation) of the colon and stimulates intestinal contraction. Bromelain also contains chemicals that interfere with the growth of tumor cells, slow blood clotting and combate oxidative stress.
