—HIPPOCRATES, The Father of Medicine) Abdominal pain/discomfort, Abdominal bloating, distention/enlargement, flatulence, and/or noisy sounds, and Bowel dysfunction (constipation, diarrhea, or both) Sleep disturbance Chronic pain Anxiety Depression Low energy/fatigue and/or Brain fog —ALESSIO FASANO, renowned Harvard pediatric gastroenterologist For those who consult with medical professionals, diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is usually made in the absence of "red flag" concerning features. Treatment is unsatisfactory, quality of life usually impaired, ability to function and work often compromised, and unnecessary health care utilization and costs result. IBS is a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction, which can be treated. The problem isn't "all in the head," a psychosomatic disorder, or directly caused by stress. However, there are 6 other common and specifically treatable causes that either mimic IBS or occur with it. These can be identified with blood, stool, and breath testing. Colonoscopy usually isn't necessary! Impaired function or dysfunction of gut-brain interaction has a lot to do with the cause of chronic GI disorders. The resident microbes (gut microbiome) are very important for both gut and whole health. We're all in an epidemic of chronic illness and disease. A root cause, operating at the microscopic cellular level, links them. Integrative gastroenterologist WILLIAM B.
