A New IBS Solution offers a revolutionary look at the way Irritable Bowel Syndrome is currently being treated. Today, over 60 million people of all ages across the country are suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrom(IBS), which is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. But because patients may find it difficult to discuss their bowel problems with their physicians, they often suffer in silence or even worse, "learn to live it". According to Dr. Mark Pimentel, Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the majority of IBS cases can be treated successfully. Dr. Pimentel believes that the "missing link" or root cause of most IBS symtoms can be attributed to an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. A New IBS Solution takes you through the historical evolution of conventional medicine's view on IBS in a way that can be easily understood. In addition, Dr. Pimentel presents a simple treatment protocol that will not only help you resolve your IBS symptoms, but will also prevent their recurrence.

FINALLY RELIEF!:
This book is a must for anyone suffering from IBS. I have been suffering with this disease for 40 plus years. I was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr. Mark Pimental.

A year later I am still under treatment and although I get occassional flare ups, my life is pretty much normal. I can travel, eat out, go to friends without the constant worry of an attacl. Although, the diet can... more info
Must Read! Only IBS Book that discusses SIBO in Detail:
Having suffered from IBS for over 25 Years and having read dozens of other Books on the Topic it was such a pleasure to read Dr. Mark Pimentel's new Book, "A New IBS Solution". What impressed me the most was that he understands that "IBS" is just a catch-all name that is given when all other "Tests" prove normal. He believes that the "Root Cause" of IBS isn't caused by "Stress" but by an Overgrowth of Bacteria in the Small Intestines( SIBO). This may account for up to 80% of all the people suffering... more info
This book changed my life!:
Like the subjects in Dr. Pimentel's book, I can recall the exact date (and even hour!) of the onset of my IBS. It was after a terrible bout of food poisioning that never seemed to end. If you have a similar story, you NEED to read this book. While reading "A New IBS Solution", I found myself saying, "That's ME!" over and over - I related to it more than any other book I've read about the subject. Based on Dr. Pimentel's research, I requested a lactulose breath test from my gastroenterologist. It was... more info
Dramatic relief from my IBS:
After more than a decade of IBS suffering, Pimental's protocol outlined in this book did the trick for me. Read it, called Cedar's for a gastro referral in Northern Calif, and the rest is history. Now I'm normal again, never thought it possible! Wow...best medical advice I ever received. Thanks to the doctor's at Cedar's who did the clinical research; they truly have increased my quality of life.
