Finally put an end to intestinal problems: new method brings healing!
Bamberg (ots)
After two decades, Maja S. (39) from Nuremberg no longer suffers from unbearable intestinal problems. Her severe medical conditions, which forced her to avoid food and constantly be near a toilet, have come to an end thanks to a groundbreaking diagnostic technique. She was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome 20 years ago and, despite countless examinations, nothing was found - until she finally came across revolutionary confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE).
This advanced method is used at the Clinic for Integrative Medicine and Naturopathy in Bamberg to monitor the function of the intestinal barrier in real time. Professor Jost Langhorst explains that in healthy people, the close connection between intestinal cells ensures that nutrients enter the bloodstream while harmful substances remain in the intestine. But stress, medications and unhealthy diets can damage this barrier – a condition known as “leaky gut.” As part of CLE, Maja was able to identify the problematic foods that were causing her symptoms.
New glimmer of hope for irritable bowel syndrome patients!
CLE is a groundbreaking method: It allows doctors to visualize the intestinal barrier under 1000x magnification. Maja was tested during a gastroscopy. Potentially problematic foods were administered and a contrast medium was used to monitor reactions in real time. "Success came just days later. I no longer had to go to the toilet ten times a day," she says enthusiastically.
Treatment also includes a period of several weeks away from the identified irritants and the use of traditional medicinal plants such as myrrh. Professor Langhorst emphasizes that synthetic drugs often do not have the same effectiveness. Studies confirm the benefits of plant substances and create new hope for all those who suffer from functional intestinal problems - especially for the over ten million Germans who are affected by irritable bowel syndrome. Women are twice as likely to be affected, although psychological factors can exacerbate the symptoms.
