Summary of Dr. Mark Pimentel & Dr. Ali Rezaie's The Microbiome Connection

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 IBS affects people both physically and psychologically. It can affect their family life and professional life, and it can be difficult to diagnose.

#2 IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder and one of the most treated disorders encountered by physicians. It affects more women than men, and it is not given priority in research funding despite the high costs to society.

#3 IBS has been known by many names over the years, including irritable colon, spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic colitis, mucous colitis, spastic bowel, and recently leaky gut. None of these names really describes the exact nature of IBS.

#4 The more precise the definitions and criteria for IBS are, the better we can communicate with our patients and fellow physicians, and the faster we can make a diagnosis and start patients on a path to healing.
