Hello All,
I want to let you know about a study being done by 23AndMe with Pfizer, the huge drug company.
You can go to www.23AndMe.com to look into this.
I PRAY that some headway can be made AT LAST to find A CURE for our IBS!!

Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.

That activity is not likely to lead to any cures. There is however a much larger project going on in Europe to identify genetic influences in IBS
The Genes in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Research Network Europe (GENIEUR)
