There are some on the message board who have significant time on their hands. Usually, I don't have time for internet things and responses to this board as much as I might like to. Yet with the drastic changes in California weather-wise I have spent some time at this website reading.
Syl,
With all due respect here, let's not get into "Analysis Paralysis" as opposed to basics for IBS control one day at a time.
Most of us know that doctors are of no practical help. Having knowledge about studies do not solve any problems. These sometimes make for interesting reading and an ash of temporal understanding, yet such does NOT solve the personal path of this physical condition and including reasonable control of it.
We are all here to find recipes, learn basics, while enuraging others (support) in their own personal recovery. There is no need to dwell on temporal scientific studies that prove nothing.
Are you aware that this is what pharmaceutical companies dwell on with their clinical trials and subsequent drug releases and sales?... that being to support their pharametical company for millions and billions of dollars of every year? Yep, they would like to drug people legally, rather than teach them to eat properly. Figures!
Please know that I am not attacking you personally, though disagree on some of your responses.
In reality, some of these posts were sufferers asking a simple question or sharing of their frustrations around IBS.
When asked for the time on another's wristwatch, do they REALLY need a lecture on HOW the watch was made? We just want to function physically as best we can. Everybody is different and have no desire to go to back to college to become a medical practioner.
My philposopy around all of this is to pay attention to what you eat and with whom we spend any significant time around.
Healthy relationships can be some of the greatest stress relievers, and likewise some people can to prove to be our major stress inducers.
Be aware that phamaceutical companies have a priority of selling their medications (drugs). They know asolutely nothing about cause and effect. Prescription drugs often cause more problems than they (the drug) actually helps.
Most people today want that "quick fix" in pill form, and ones easy to swallow of course... making pharma companies multi-billion dollar companies.
In my experience, what sufferers need is sound suggests on diet and stress reduction, not more stress from analyzing everthing.
In the end (again, in my personal experience), one does not feel better by temporal technical information about this condition, as opposed to practical information and encouragement for each of us who presently are suffering and seeking answers to our personal questions in and around food issues, and personal symptom control. These things do not happen overnight, and they have been with some of us for many decades.
