If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, you know how unpredictable and uncomfortable it can be. The good news is that Cosmic Hue may offer natural support for managing IBS symptoms through its blend of seven carefully selected plants known for their gut-soothing properties.
I am Manny, founder of Fifth Ray and a certified Gut Health Coach. After battling Crohn's Disease for 16 years, I transformed my gut health through plant-based healing. That journey led me to create Cosmic Hue, a tea specifically formulated to address the gut issues I experienced firsthand.
While my condition was Crohn's, many of the symptoms overlap with IBS, and thousands of our customers with IBS have reported meaningful improvements in their digestive comfort.
In this article, you will learn what IBS is, how Cosmic Hue's ingredients may help support your gut, and what real IBS sufferers are saying about their experience with our tea.
What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a common digestive disorder that affects the large intestine. It causes recurring abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits without any visible damage to the digestive tract.
IBS is a functional gut disorder, meaning the problem lies in how your gut and brain communicate rather than structural damage. This connection between your gut and brain, known as the gut-brain axis, explains why stress often triggers IBS symptoms.
Types of IBS
According to the Rome IV IBS subtypes criteria, IBS is classified into four main types based on stool consistency.
IBS-D mostly presents with diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.
IBS-C mostly presents with constipation and abdominal discomfort.
IBS-mixed involves alternating loose stools and constipation with abdominal discomfort.
IBS-U is an undefined subtype where symptoms vary and do not fit neatly into the other categories.
Understanding which type you have can help you identify patterns and potential triggers in your daily life.
Common Symptoms
IBS presents with a variety of symptoms that can range from mild to severe.
Abdominal pain and discomfort are the hallmark symptoms of IBS, often relieved by bowel movements.
Bloating, gas and fullness frequently occur, making your stomach feel distended and uncomfortable.
Changes in bowel habits happen regularly, with frequency and consistency varying day to day.
Diarrhoea or constipation appears depending on the type of IBS you have, sometimes alternating between the two.
Mucus in stool may be present, though this symptom alone does not indicate IBS.
These symptoms typically come and go in episodes, with some periods being worse than others.
Common Triggers
IBS triggers vary from person to person, but several common patterns emerge across most sufferers.
Food triggers often play a significant role in IBS symptoms. Foods high in FODMAPs are particularly problematic for many people with IBS.
Fruits like apples, mangos, pears and watermelon contain high levels of fructose that can trigger symptoms. High fructose syrups like honey and agave can overwhelm your digestive system.
Wheat, rye and gluten containing products frequently cause issues, even in people without coeliac disease. Cabbage, onions, asparagus, broccoli and other gas producing vegetables can increase bloating and discomfort.
Dairy products like milk, yoghurt, custard and ice cream may trigger symptoms due to lactose intolerance. Legumes, such as beans, baked beans, lentils, chickpeas and soybeans often cause gas and bloating.
Fatty or fried foods can slow digestion and trigger cramping in sensitive individuals. Artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol and high fructose corn syrup may worsen diarrhoea and bloating. Carbonated drinks introduce excess gas into your digestive system and can worsen discomfort.
Stress and emotional triggers significantly impact IBS symptoms. Periods of increased emotional stress or anxiety can trigger or worsen IBS symptoms due to the gut-brain connection. Your gut contains more neurotransmitters than your brain, making it highly sensitive to emotional states.
Hormonal changes affect IBS in many women. Women may notice IBS symptoms worsen during their menstrual cycle, indicating a link between sex hormones and gut sensitivity. This explains why some women experience more severe symptoms at certain times of the month.
Medications and antibiotics can disturb your gut balance. Certain drugs, including antibiotics, antidepressants and cough syrups containing sorbitol, may trigger IBS symptoms or worsen constipation and diarrhoea in sensitive people.
Gastrointestinal infection sometimes triggers IBS. A severe bout of gastrointestinal infection, also called gastroenteritis, can trigger the onset of IBS, sometimes called post-infectious IBS.
What is Cosmic Hue?
Cosmic Hue is a daily gut-calming plant tea blend containing seven carefully selected herbs designed to support digestive health, reduce discomfort and promote overall wellbeing.
I created Cosmic Hue after spending years experimenting with over 30 different plants during my recovery from Crohn's Disease. After more than a decade of struggle, I knew conventional medication was not enough. I needed a natural solution that addressed the root cause of my gut dysfunction.
Each ingredient in Cosmic Hue was chosen for its specific healing properties and how it works together with the other plants. The formula targets multiple aspects of gut health, from soothing inflammation to supporting the gut-brain connection that plays such a critical role in IBS.
What IBS Sufferers Are Saying
Alison Davies: Best tea l've ever tried I have IBS and chronic stomach issues this has started to relieve a lot of my pains I have 2 cups a day it taste refreshing and easy to drink you can also have it cold over ice with lime delicious Honest I'd give this product a definite 5 stars absolutely brilliant.
Paul Miller: I've had IBS for a long time. After nearly a month of 3 to 4 mugs a day, l'm starting to see a benefit. Less bloating and bowel movements better. Hoping the benefit continues. I've introduced colleagues and my wife to it. Everyone likes the taste. Well done Fifth Ray.
Natasha Huggins: I have been taking it for just over a month, I suffer with IBS and for the last 10 years I have had to adjust my diet because of acid reflux. Even with that and medication before bed I would still suffer. After a month the bloating has gone down so much that it looks like I have lost weight, I can cheat on a few things without suffering too much. I have only missed a day here and there without taking medication at night and I haven't had acid reflux but I'm not fully confident to come off completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Biggest Trigger for IBS?
For most people, diet is the primary trigger. In a comprehensive review, 60% of patients with IBS report dietary triggers to their gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly a high-FODMAP diet. Although diet is most common, for others stress and anxiety is the biggest trigger.

Yes, Cosmic Hue is generally safe for most people with IBS. The ingredients are specifically chosen to soothe the gut and reduce inflammation. Start with one cup daily and check with your healthcare provider before starting.
Will Fennel in Cosmic Hue Trigger my IBS?
Fennel is high-FODMAP and may affect some people with IBS. However, many people tolerate it well in tea form, especially when combined with the other soothing ingredients in Cosmic Hue. The amount of fennel in each serving is relatively small compared to eating whole fennel. Start slowly and watch how your body responds.
