011-Ask Dr Soram-Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gas, Bloating and SIBO-Part 2

 

Ask Dr Soram Pimental part 2This is part two of my interview with Dr. Mark Pimentel, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles California. Dr. Pimentel is the Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Program and Laboratory at Cedars-Sinai medical center.

In the last podcast I talked with Dr. Pimentel about the diagnosis and treatment aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and our current understanding of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth as its cause.

In this part two of my interview, I talk with him about the causative factors in this condition, additional aspects of treatment, and the direction that Dr. Pimental's research is taking him to get a deeper understanding of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Do you have friends and relatives with Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Are they aware that SIBO appears to be the cause? What symptoms do they have? How are they treated for their symptoms? Have you made them aware that SIBO is the most likely cause and is relatively easy to treat? Please let me know in your comments below or email questions to me at questions@askdrsoram.com.
