Today, over 60 million people of all ages across the USA are suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the most common chronic medical condition, 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 with it."

Dr. Mark Pimentel believes that the "missing link," or root cause of most IBS symptoms can be attributed to an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.
