all 19 million IBS studies in PUBmed are not all about pharmacy mangement of IBS.
I to would rather see IBSers get better without drugs, but that is not based in reality. I am not a big supporter of drugs either, they have a place however and without research on them how would one know what to take or do?
What are the statistics of people learning about there condition IBS and the impact education has on IBSers and their symptoms?
The leading cause of misdiagnoses is self diagnoses, IBS is complex, that is a reality as well and many people misdiagnose themselves that actually have IBS, which also drives up healthcare and anxiety as they look everywhere for a "cure."
A good doctor pateint relationship has shown to be extremely benefical in IBS.
"Most of us know that doctors are of no practical help"
Depends on your doctor, some of mine have been tremedously helpful.
"Having knowledge about studies do not solve any problems"
yes it actually does.
The science behind IBS has been making huge progress and there is practical information to be learned from it, from diagnoses to treatments.
as for the watch analogy, it is very important to understand some digestion basics in order to understand IBS. Since IBS involves abnormal functioning of the digestive tract, it can help to understand why that is and what can be done about it, from foods to stress to hormones to medications ect..
Say for example a womens hormones trigger IBS, explaining the process can be helpful.
