Has anyone tried low dose naltrexone for IBS? I've read of two studies that show it to be effective in 3/4 of the patients to tried it -- both for pain and bowel function. Also, a friend of mine who is an anesthesiologist at Mayo mentioned to me that it was being used for IBS. I hope someone has some experience to report. Thanks.

Looking at it's side effects, I'm surprised. Have you got any links to the studies?

Btw, this is the wrong forum for this. The "Eating for IBS" is for all IBS and IBS-diet posts.

I did a search through Google and Medscape. Google turned up several reports in the media about the results of the first two studies. I also called gastroenterology research centers to find out more about tests currently being done. A research center in Portland, Oregon told me that they were getting positive outcomes with pain and bloating in their current study.
