Ileocecal Valve (ICV) Syndrome
Ileocecal Valve (ICV) Syndrome
A malfunctioning Ileocecal Valve is an extremely common condition. It can produce an unbelievable list of distressing symptoms that may be seemingly unrelated. It is frequently the cause of the "I just don't feel well" syndromes, as well as many types of aches and pains together with other specific symptomatic patterns.
The Ileocecal Valve controls the flow of digested food when it is time for it to leave the Small Intestine where it has been absorbed, and go into the Large Intestine to become faeces. It should open and close at appropriate times. If it stays open too long, or not long enough, problems occur.
A small example of these are; abdominal pain, groin pain. Constipation, diarrhea or IBS. Allergies. "Arthritic" type aches and pains. Bloating. Bowel Gas. Burping habitually. Candida. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Catarrh. Chest pains. Chronic Fatigue, Frozen shoulder and much more...
The proper movement of the food through the digestive system is controlled by several valves. One at the top, and one at the bottom of the stomach, one at the junction of the Large and Small Intestine and the anus.
If you think this might be the cause of some of your health problems, please consider getting yourself checked out. Search for your nearest Kinesiologist at taskuknetwork.org to find one of our highly trained Professional Kinesiologists. It could well change your whole life.

What can cause the ICV to malfunction?
THE MIND AFFECTS THE BODY
Relentless Stress, negative emotions/thoughts, upset and arguments, fears, phobias, pressures and anxieties. All have a psychosomatic effect. The psyche (mind) directly affects the body (soma). We can also relate to a "Gut reaction"when emotions are involved. Kinesiology can help negative feelings and emotions through Emotional Stress Release techniques.
THE CHEMISTRY OF THE BODY
The digestion of food. Too much raw food, roughage like bran, alcohol in excess, caffeinated drinks, crisps, nuts and even whole grains can cause the ICV to malfunction. Allergies, food sensitivities and a lack of stomach acid (often feels like too much with reflux) also can contribute to problems with the ICV. With Kinesiology we are able to test possible offending foods and check for specific nutritional needs.
THE PHYSICAL BODY
Feeling over tired due to straining the structure of the muscles, bones and organs, or lack of exercise/over exercising can also upset the smooth functioning of the digestive system.
THE LIFE FORCE - OUR BODIES ENERGY
The fourth, often neglected vital part of us is the LIFE FORCE. Phones, Tablets, PC's, Microwaves can cause negative energy excesses and deficiencies. Electro-magnetic pollution, all can affect our digestion.
