A member asked:

Actually the my doctor said that i don`t have any infection, but just to clear and clean the stomach and the bowel bcz of what i`m having "ibs" ?

Non-specific: IBS is a non disease, describing a complex of vague of undefined problems, such as gas, bloating, irregularity, cramps, etc. Your best bet is a good balanced diet, with fiber, excellent hydration, especially water, and yogurt. If you don't like yogurt , take a probiotic 3-4 times a week. Good luck.
