If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) that you are not alone. 15% of all patient visits to a primary care physician and 25 — 50% of visits to a Gastrointestinal professional are associated with IBS.
For decades Western medicine professionals widely regarded the origin of IBS as a disorder. As a result, many patients have been given anti-depression drugs, such as Prozac, to deal with their IBS. Thanks to recent research, our understanding of the debilitating disease has evolved — together with those practicing Functional Medicine paying special attention.
The research revealed that many factors can contribute to IBS. We have discovered that leaky gut and genetics, anxiety our Gut Microbiome’s state, the breakdown of physical digestive mechanisms of our gut might be major contributors to this disorder.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a digestive disorder that has been described as a selection of debilitating pain or abdominal discomfort that is ongoing for the previous 6 months and occurring three or more times in the previous 3 weeks. The pain accompanies a change in the frequency and appearance of feces.
