AND, IBS is one of over 30 Functional GI Disorders (FGIDs), including heartburn that does not respond to treatment with powerful acid reducing drugs, upper abdominal pain (epigastric pain and/or dyspepsia) unresponsive to ulcer treatment, and abdominal bloating (with or without abdominal enlargement, called distention). IBS and FGIDs are all interrelated and commonly occur together. They share common causes.
SO this ebook will help if you suffer with any FGID.
AND, most patients with IBS and other FGIDs also have one or more symptom syndromes, such as fibromyalgia, fatigue, headaches, back pain, and interstitial cystitis (painful bladder). Medical tests are usually normal. Nevertheless, these diseases are real. They are not imagined, and they are not mental illnesses. They are all interrelated and share common causes.
SO this ebook can help.
