Because the show was about healthy and unhealthy colons among other things but not specifically IBS, the doctor didn't address IBS. One lady on the show was severly constipated all the time and did the "tiny marble poo's" maybe twice a week ! Why? She drank more than a 12-pack (if I remember correctly) of diet coke a day and the only water she took in was when she brushed her teeth.
The doctor addresses diverticulitis, hemmorhoids and things that can happen when you strain to poo....but not specifically IBS.
It seems that Oprah's producers may have changed the format of the show that was listed on their website because it addresses more about severe constipation than IBS. The constipated woman had horrible eating habits.
Regardless it was a fascinating show and I learned plenty. I listen for the sound of my poo now . If it makes a plopping noise I know I need to increase my fiber and if it makes a sound like a diver going into a pool I am in good shape. What a hoot. I do find that I am not like the majority of people as I do not look at my poo when I am finished going. That makes me sick!
The man also said the average person passes gas 14 times a day...I told my children and I think they are counting now!

I have IBS but it doesn't have me!
