A discussion of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Dr. Mark Pimentel and Dr. Ben Weitz at the Functional Medicine Discussion Group meeting 2-23-2017. Check out this recent interview with Dr. Pimentel [ Ссылка ] Dr. Pimentel explains how Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is the cause of IBS rather than stress. With this new understanding, IBS is now a potentially treatable disorder with testing and treatment strategies, rather than a disorder with no known cause that can only be managed symptomatically. Dr. Pimentel has been doing much of the research to prove these concepts and testing and treatment strategies. These ideas have been embraced by the Functional Medicine community, though they have not been fully accepted yet by the mainstream medical community. Dr. Weitz is available for nutrition consults www.drweitz.com 310-395-3111
