"A New IBS Solution" - Book by Dr. Mark Pimentel

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most chronic medical condition in the United States and affects people of all ages. Until recently many people have had to suffer in silence or "learn to live with it" because there has been no known cure.

IBS, with symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating and altered bowel habits is more than embarrassing and an uncomfortable subject to discuss. IBS severely alters people's lives. Imagine having this one thing invade and control every aspect of your life... For many people the pain and uncertainty of bowel function can be disabling enough to prevent them from working, traveling and even socializing or having intimate relationships.

About the Book - "A New IBS Solution" by Dr. Mark Pimentel

A New IBS Solution

Commonwealth Laboratories is pleased to present Dr. Mark Pimentel's NEW Book, "A New IBS Solution".

Dr. Mark Pimentel believes that the root cause of most IBS symptoms can be attributed to an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This new book takes you through the historical evolution of conventional medicine's views 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.

This book takes you through the evolution of thinking in IBS in a way that can be easily understood. The research is often complex even for those in the field; physicians and patients alike may get lost trying to understand the quagmire of opinions and research findings. In the desire for help, along with frustration with their physicians’ limited understanding of how to treat IBS, patients have turned to alternative therapies such as probiotics. While some of these therapies have positive results, others are not as helpful and in some rare cases may be detrimental. These too will be discussed. While the initial chapters focus on how the theories of IBS diverge, the final chapters will show how the theories converge into a unifying hypothesis, and will give an indication of where IBS developments are heading in the future.
