Possible Overlap of IBS Symptoms and IBD

Post by MBombardier »

It never ceases to amaze me how clueless the researchers are sometimes:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 081236.htm

Research unveiled at the American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) 77th Annual Scientific meeting in Las Vegas suggests a possible overlap of symptoms of two prevalent GI disorders: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and further suggests a possible link between subtle GI tract inflammation and IBS symptoms.

I wonder if they could be trying to find a face-saving way to back away from their ridiculous stance on "IBS". As I recall, already a couple of years ago, they "discovered" that "IBS" involves inflammation. Well duh! That makes it an IBD, by definition. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
