Taroh73:

A doctor who recommends surgery for IBS has absolutely no idea what IBS is or what causes it. Well, the cause isn't 100 per cent known, but I believe one of the prevailing theories is that it is caused by a reduced amount of a particular chemical that is transmitted from the brain to the gut. Now, how in the world could surgery remedy that?

I've had IBS all of my life (46 years) and I've been very sick over the years. However, I now control my IBS very successfully with Heather's diet.

If some doctor told me I needed surgery for my IBS, I would think he was crazy -- or, if I was living in the U.S., I would think he was just trying to make some money on me.

There is NO surgery in the world that can remedy IBS. And, at the present time, there is no easy solution for IBS control. It's basically you've gotta follow Heather's recommended diet and lifestyle.

Sorry to be so blunt!
