April 2, 2012 - PRLog -- April is National Irritable Bowel Syndrome Month, but what is it?  

Start with a doctor visit advises specialists at Personal Physician Care in Delray Beach.

Delray Beach, April 2012 — The “upside” of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which at some point affects about 15% to 20% of all people, is potential weight loss – but that’s because of the painful and potentially embarassing symptoms.

“A person with IBS will experience pain or discomfort in the abdomen, bloating, and constipation and/or diarrhea,” says Camille Terzah, Nutrition Specialist and Weight Loss Coach with Personal Physician Care in Delray Beach. “The cramping can be painful and difficult to self-diagnose. A person might try cutting out dairy or caffeine, but find no relief and not know why.”

“Symptoms may begin after age 50 and there may be a delay in treatment from onset. IBS can be unpredictable and have many causes,” adds Tirzah.

Personal Physician Care takes a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment. “IBS can be controlled through diet, but it might also be caused abnormal serotonin levels or sugar. That is why Personal Physician Care has a patient see both a physician and a nutritionist."

The clinical services at Personal Physician Care are two-pronged, medical and dietary. The clinic's patients do not make multiple appointments at different offices. Instead, they  come to one location for all symptom management, saving time and money.

Personal Physician Care is unique in that the clinic provides the state-of-the art Biophotonic Scanner along with nutraceutical, medication and supplements.

To make an appointment with Personal Physician Care call (561) 498-5660, email ppc@ppcare.net or ask for the marketing department for a media interview or media demonstration of the Biophotonic Scanner with one of the physicians at PPCare.
