  • Summary

  • Encouraging physicians to make a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome and prescribe medication for it is big business. I'm not saying that medication for IBS is never a good idea or never effective, but I am saying that it is often an overly expedient solution that doesn’t usually lead to lasting relief for the simple reason that IBS consists of multiple different conditions. Since there is no one unifying diagnosis of "IBS" there can't be one unifying pharmaceutical solution.
