Pages: 1 PET tests new treatment for irritable bowel       #57509 - 04/03/04 10:46 AM Edit Reply Quote shawneric Reged: 01/30/03 Posts: 1738 Loc: Oregon FYI http://www.buffalo.edu/reporter/vol34/vol34n3/articles/IBS.html "PET is a useful tool for this study because it visualizes physiological processes in real time. Scientists believe IBS symptoms are due to hypersensitive nerves that misfire pain signals to brain regions that register pain sensations. Research has shown that these pain signals—triggered by intestinal contractions, stress, hormonal changes, food and bloating—activate a different pattern of brain activity in people with IBS than in individuals without IBS. These findings suggest that IBS involves "faulty wiring" of nerves connecting the gastrointestinal tract and the brain." -------------------- My website on IBS is www.ibshealth.com Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
