Thank you for the reference. I read the original paper. It is quite interesting.

This research suggests there might be a link between a subgroup of IBS suffers and allergies. This subgroup is seen in allergy clinics more frequently than non-IBS patients are seen in general medicine clinics.

Unfortunately, the study does not show that allergies cause IBS or vice versa. It does not suggest any new theraputic approaches. And it does not say that allergy tests provide any insights into how to manage IBS symptoms.

This research makes interesting contribution to solving a very complex puzzle
