After my “gut” problem a year or so ago, my husband bought me the book IBS For Dummies (irritable bowel syndrome). I have never read anything more confusing. What makes one person sick, cures another person with the same symptoms. I am not surprised that anyone, even doctors, is confused by this condition.

A quite agree that there is tremendous variation between people.

However, on the subject of IBS, have you tried a half teaspoon of peppermint extract in a glass of water twice daily? I’ve known several diagnosed IBS sufferers who have experienced extended relief with that.

Recently, a scientific study validated what had long been suspected anecdotally.
