Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, and altered bowel habits (chronic or recurrent diarrhea, constipation, or alternating). Many people suffer for years and see numerous health professionals before getting a proper diagnosis.
Symptoms can range from mild and occasionally annoying to chronically debilitating and life-altering. Approximately 20-40% of all gastroenterologist visits are for IBS.
Traditional IBS treatments are geared toward minimizing symptoms. Many are inadequate, leaving a desperate need for more options.
There is new technology than can measure inflammatory reactions caused by food and/or chemical triggers in the diet. This inflammation causes widespread and persistent pain. Unless the underlying triggers are accurately identified and eliminated, patients will continue to suffer, no matter what other therapies they try.
The Mediator Release Test, or MRT, is the most accurate food sensitivity screening tool available. Using MRT results, patients – with the help of a trained dietitian – eliminate reactive foods and create a customized diet that is hypoallergenic uniquely to them, and regain functionality and wellness.
