Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | IBS might not be what you have got but a symptom, Electromagnetic radiation might be the cause.

Dear all
I have been suffering with IBS symptoms during the last year. After doing some research I reached the following conclusions:
My condition is nothing to do with diet, but with Electromagnetic Fields radiation. It is everywhere and high levels of the magnetic one, I believe, is causing my condition.
I had suspicions of EMF and found tools to check it out and monitor it. I have to say that my symptoms are not present as long as I stay away of magnetic fields over 2 milligaus. If interested check this website http://www.electronichealing.co.uk/products/emf_protection.htm or try to find a EMF meter somewhereelse in order to check which areas might have high EMF radiation present.
Surprisingly my worst enemy was an old cathodic computer screen which was exposing me for long periods of time to a magnetic field of between 10 and 20 milligaus. As soon as I switched it off, my life changed completely; a dull pain that I used to have, sometimes all day long, vanished completely. Now I am in the situation that my wobel is kind of scared and very sensitive, specially to EMF radiation. I know it for a fact because I keep measuring the levels with a meter that I invested in [investment that has given me back my normal self most of the time]. As soon as I find an area with a high magnetic field I know that I have to keep away or find the source in order to remove it or relocate it, otherwise my bowel starts to feel like very itchi.
In terms of my diet, before finding the EMF issue, became bizarre because I started to try to find which foods were affecting me. Nowadays I eat anything and has no effect on how I feel.
Another element of my bettering is to do with the problem of constipation which I still have, I believe to do with my bowel not being able to function properly because of its scaring and sensitivity, the way that I manage to have, at least, a daily motion is by means of irrigation. I found a method that suits me to force the motion so that the stool does not stay too long in my system, thought it used to cause me feeling very bloated and unwell due to the stool going off. Now I can get my system working and the end result is that I feel fine but for the scaring and sensitivity of my bowel.
I do not inted to tell that what might be causing IBS to everyone is precisely what I have explained, I just intend to share my experience.
I would like to suggest that if people do not find ways of bettering, that at least try to check EMF which is something that is not obvious and that is invisible. A first step would be to get a EMF meter to check if there are sources which are too high and to which exposure is quite permanent. The recomended levels for magnetic fields are from 0 to 1 milligauss which have no biological effect, from 1 to 3 milligauss the situation is borderline, beyond 3 milligauss it is recomended that long term exposure should be avoided.[Reference: Trifield (R) Meter]
Finally, I would like to clarify that high magnetic fields are everywhere and shortlived exposure to them might not be a cause for alarm. In the other hand, I believe that what caused my condition is to do with me being exposed to such a high magnetic field for over two years; an average of between 45 and 50 hours a week.
Nothing to lose for checking, it has changed my live. A month ago I would not have had the energy to write in this forum.
