Some time ago I listened to the Angela Davis show about IBS. The GI specialists from Mayo & University of Minnesota were on. They both said they do not have the time to see IBS patients. I have seen 2 GI PA, & they both said IBS is difficult to treat & recommended fiber treatments, which did not help. My question is, why are there so many of us with IBS? Is it today's diet, the environment, etc.? It sounds like it is an epidemic.
