Almost one of six people has this "disease."

I see this every day in my practice.

Over 75 percent of people who suffer are not diagnosed.

There is no current standard medical treatment.

Yet, it causes more than twice the number of days off work, days in bed, and reduction in regular activities than for people who don't suffer from it.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that it is curable, that you don't have to suffer, and that following a few simple steps will cure this debilitating problem for most people in a few days.

How do you know whether you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? And what can you do to fix it?

Do you have:

  • Gas?
  • Bloating after meals?
  • Abdominal pain?
  • Diarrhea or constipation (which means NOT going every single day at least once or twice)?

If you do, then you have irritable bowel syndrome.

Through the science of functional medicine, a new way of thinking about how to solve this (and every other!) complex health problem, you can fix this problem quickly by simple changes in diet and a few other simple strategies.

Get to the root of the problem. Don't just suppress symptoms.
