I just received an Energy Times magazine in the mail (June 2003 issue) and came across the following article and wanted to share it with each of you:

Identifying IBS
In your excellent article "Don't Be Irritable" on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the April issue, you might have mentioned that IBS is fast becoming a catch-all phrase too often used by physicians, particularly with female patients. In my own case, "IBS" turned out to be celiac disease. My best friends was not so lucky; "diagnosed with IBS, she demanded further tests which ultimately identified the actual problem-pancreatic cancer. Readers would be well advised to remember that IBS is not a diagnosis, merely a name for a certain array of symptons. by: Barbara Fleming (Bradenton, Florida)
