Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | How to fix the brain-gut connection?

"However, there are no 'GURUS' who can fix IBS symptoms for others, and what works for one does not necessarily work for others."

There are hundreds of experts that research and treat IBS successfully around the world. Some are not getting the right treatments for IBS, because they don't understand it first of all or why someone would do some of the treatmsnts recommened for IBS.

Its also not "what works for one does not necessarily work for others" its what works for the majority of IBSers on what is already known about the cause/causes of IBS.

We "Encouragement to seek" accurate information on what IBS is and what treatments are avaliable from experts, not from people's personal beliefs. This helps all IBSers get an accuate diagnoses and the right treatments for it.

Which is the reason self diagnoses is the leading cause of misdiagnoses.

Because they don't understand yet the exact cause of IBS, doesn't mean the experts studying it, no absolutetly nothing about it. They know more then you do about IBS and functional disorders and there has been a huge amount of research done in the last ten years and they have learned a lot. Which is why we post from experts and NOT from our own personal beliefs of the cause/causes, because NONE of us do research. There is something called medical science. While you may believe its all corrupt, its NOT.

On clinical studies you must not understand peer reviews.

A lot of what you posted is your opinion.

Support and friendship also comes in sharing information on diagnosing IBS and what is already known about it and pointing out accurate and recognized expert IBS information and treatments for the best poissible outcomes for all IBSers and to find a cure or more effective treatments, not just pharmaceutical treatments either.

Again there is no competition between syl and I at all.

What is NOT helpful is calling IBS a "catch all diagnoses" its not and some of us are working hard to validate IBS as a real condition, NOT psychosomatic, but a real physical which has already been proven to be a distint entity. Not what the ordinary layman "Thinks causes IBS" but the actual 20 or more years of research on it in every field of medicine.

No one is lecturing, people were posting VERY inaccurate IBS information that IBS was a infectious disease and a "catch all diagnoses". It is NOT, there are specific symptoms and classifications to these functional disorders. These need to be recognized.

That you totally deny and know nothing about some extremely hard working scientists and organizations around the world, some of whom I am personally am friends with that are working extremely hard to figure out an extremely complex condition IBS. Its also not being recognized what they are trying to do, like validate IBS for people who are diabled with it as a VERY real condition is majorally important, as well as how its diagnosed to begin with and that it is, contrary to some people's beliefs who have not studied it a "catch all diagnoses for every gi symptoms. Again its not.

One of the most benefical things all IBSers have is accurate information on IBS, this gives you power over your condition and understanding of it and better ways to communicate with your doctor. The research doctors are honest they don't know the exact cause yet, but have found abnormalities that can be treated. The alternative doctors mainly use the IBS is a catch all diagnoses for every gi symptoms, that is incorrect.

It sounds like you don't like doctors or anything doctor do to help IBSers and research?
