Survey shows lack of awareness of IBS may impact medical care
More than 13 percent of participants in a national survey indicated they suffer from symptoms suggesting irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), yet only a fraction of this group – less than one out of five – said they have been diagnosed with the disease.

                    [Summary] => According to the 2003 Sleep in America study, about 50 percent of American adults aged 55 to 84 experience insomnia at least a few nights per week. Insomnia is defined as consistent difficulty falling sleep, waking many times during sleep, waking too early or not being able to fall back to sleep or waking feeling tired. A new study reveals that there is an association between gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and sleep disturbances. This association is important because insomnia, along with GI disease, can cause significant health issues.

                    [Summary] => Evidence is mounting that at least a subset of irritable syndrome (IBS) patients may have acquired the disease as a result of an acute gastrointestinal illness. Research from the United Kingdom indicates that between seven and 33 percent of patients affected by an outbreak of food poisoning in Britain in the late 1990s never made a full recovery and went on to experience classic symptoms of IBS such as pain and alternating episodes of constipation and diarrhea.

                    [Summary] => To some patients with IBS and the doctors who treat them, the disease is like what Winston Churchill said about Russia: "It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Sometimes the more you learn about it, the more questions you have to ask. And while this may be frustrating if you’re looking for fast relief, the questions all lead to better studies being conducted, which in turn lead to heightened understanding and more effective treatments. That said, one new study may spur more questions than it answers.

Sometimes the more you learn about it, the more questions you have to ask. And while this may be frustrating if you’re looking for fast relief, the questions all lead to better studies being conducted, which in turn lead to heightened understanding and more effective treatments. That said, one new study may spur more questions than it answers.
