The science behind IBS

IBS is a disorder of the gut-brain interaction. This means that both physiological factors (such as visceral hypersensitivity or altered microbiota) and psychological factors (stress, anxiety) play a role. The book explains these scientific bases in an understandable way, helping you understand why solutions must be comprehensive. Topics such as intestinal motility, low-grade inflammation, and the role of serotonin are addressed.
