Okay, so there is research being done and there have been recent discoveries about the way IBS affects our nervous system, etc. But what does this information mean for us laymen who find these research studies completely esoteric? How does it help us through our daily lives with IBS?
None of the treatment options for IBS are very good - most of us still suffer on a daily basis and only manage to keep our symptoms under control by keeping a super restricted diet. I feel like I have very little power or control over this condition, even with all this information. It just leaves me more confused. The bottom line for most us is, how can we use this information to feel better?
