Commentary
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder which affects the digestive tract and the large intestine in particular. Common symptoms of IBS include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. These complications are often long-lasting and therefore require extensive treatment.
Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are often uncomfortable and sometimes even debilitating, but IBS does not cause changes in bowel tissue or increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Only a small group of people with irritable bowel syndrome has severe signs and symptoms. Some patients can control their symptoms by managing diet, lifestyle, and stress, while others need more intensive treatment and medications [1]. Because many of these medications have potentially harmful side effects, Pars Bioscience is pleased to introduce EDS2, a novel herbal remedy designed to help patients overcome irritable bowel syndrome (Figure 1).

More than 70% of these cases had received different therapies including antispasmodics, serotonin agonists and other anti-cholinergic treatments.

During the period of these studies it was observed that EDS2 exerted effects on the colon resulted into significant improvements (70%-80%) in connection with the abdominal colic, good relieve (60%-70%) from GIT-disturbances and belching It also restored the peristaltic movement of the colon and showed significant improvements for bloating, indigestion and heartburn and it was also effective in breaking down food to nourish the body, increased nutrient digestion and maximized absorption.
