Now, make Irritable Bowel Syndrome a thing of the past.

Do you experience cramps and pain in the abdomen often?

Are you alternating between diarrhoea and constipation frequently?

Do you experience bloating, excessive gas, or a constant feeling of fullness in the abdomen?

If the answer is yes, there’s a good chance that you might have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).IBS is a complex and debilitating gastrointestinal condition that affects millions of people, worldwide. In India, over the past few decades, the incidence of IBS has been steadily increasing, making it the second most common cause of absenteeism from work!

What causes IBS?

IBS can be caused by different triggers, in different individuals. Certain foods. Certain medicines. Genetic predisposition. Environmental influences…the reasons could be any, or, all of these.

What do the triggers do?

The triggers upset the microbiome ecosystem that exists in your gastrointestinal tract, also referred to as the gut. As a result, the gut microbiomes do not do their job - which is to maintain your gut health!

What should you know about microbiomes?

• Every human body hosts diverse microbiomes, with trillions of these microorganisms living in the gut, skin, and mouth
• Gut microbiome refers to the vast community of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, that reside in the gastrointestinal tract
• Gut microbes play vital roles in digestion, producing vitamins, breaking down food, and even protecting against pathogens
• Gut microbiome also help train your immune system and play a crucial role in your overall health
• Gut microbiome communicate with the brain through the gut-brain axis, influencing mood, behaviour and conditions like anxiety and depression. This complex interaction highlights the importance of a healthy gut for overall well-being
• Your microbiome is unique, just like your fingerprint and iris. This individuality can impact how you, as an individual, respond to diets, medications and diseases
• Researchers are exploring methods to influence the microbiome for therapeutic purposes, to treat gut disorders and to prescribe naturally found prebiotics that promote specific, innovative health benefits

What is the role of gut microbiome in Irritable Bowel syndrome?

• Triggers can change the composition and diversity of gut microbiota, causing overgrowth of certain bacteria and reduction in beneficial bacteria, thereby leading to IBS
• Changes in the gut microbiome can lead to an abnormal immune response, causing abdominal pain and discomfort, as in IBS
• Microbial imbalance can result in the increased fermentation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon, leading to excessive gas production, bloating, and altered bowel habits seen in IBS
• Gut microbes can produce neurotransmitters and metabolites that affect the gut-brain axis, influencing mood, stress levels, and the perception of pain, all of which are relevant in IBS
• Diet plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome, and certain dietary choices can exacerbate IBS symptoms

Understanding Your Gut Microbiome

Your gut contains trillions of bacteria, forming a complex ecosystem known as the microbiome. These bacteria help digest food, produce essential nutrients, and protect against harmful pathogens. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to various digestive issues, including IBS.

At IOM Bioworks, we use advanced technology to analyze your gut microbiome and identify imbalances that may be contributing to your IBS symptoms. Our personalized approach helps you understand the root causes of your condition and develop targeted strategies for improvement.

A Comprehensive Approach to IBS Management

Managing IBS effectively requires a multifaceted approach. Our program combines microbiome analysis, dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and stress management techniques to address all aspects of your condition.

By understanding the specific bacteria affecting your digestive system, we can provide personalized recommendations to restore balance and reduce symptoms. This targeted approach has helped many individuals find relief from chronic IBS symptoms and improve their quality of life.

The Role of Diet in IBS Management

Diet plays a crucial role in managing IBS symptoms. Certain foods can trigger symptoms while others can help soothe the digestive system. Our personalized approach takes into account your specific microbiome composition to recommend foods that work best for your unique gut ecosystem.

Common dietary strategies include identifying and avoiding trigger foods, incorporating fiber-rich foods gradually, staying hydrated, and eating regular, smaller meals. However, what works for one person may not work for another, which is why personalized nutrition based on microbiome analysis is so valuable.

Lifestyle Factors That Impact IBS

Beyond diet, several lifestyle factors can significantly impact IBS symptoms:

• Stress Management: Chronic stress can worsen IBS symptoms through the gut-brain axis.
• Regular Exercise: Physical activity can help improve digestive function and reduce stress.
• Sleep Quality: Poor sleep can disrupt gut bacteria and worsen symptoms.
• Hydration: Adequate water intake is essential for healthy digestion.

What is the radical new approach that Iom Bioworks recommends to alleviate IBS?

IomBioworks addresses IBS through an innovative approach called Iom IBS Heal,centred around the microbiome.Using a stool sample, Iom IBS Heal, the first-of-its-kind solution discovers the correlation between IBS and the bacterial composition of your gut. It studies which bacteria have proliferated, and which bacteria seem to have been depleted or vanished.Iom IBS Heal then uses AI and mathematical models to compare and compute your microbial proportions, to bring them closer to that of a healthier individual. We leverage our extensive food databases to arrive at a comprehensive food list that is best suited to the bacteria inside you.The food list or diet comprises simple, easily available natural-based remedies for your gut. It pieces together a list of foods that don't agree with you and those that you should consume during the duration of your diet.As your microbiome recovers, and you start to feel a difference in your health, we recommend subsequent tests. These tests and their findings allow a slow introduction of foods that have hitherto been on the pariah list. Thus, slowly, you slowly edge towards improving your quality of life and health.
