No one has to accept bloating, cramping, urgency or pain as 'normal'. When clinical pharmacist Izabella Wentz was first diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, she was told her digestion was simply 'overly sensitive'. For years, she assumed everyone’s stomach hurt after eating. Like many people, she tried to live with the discomfort, until she discovered there were real, reasons for her symptoms that could be treated. In this ground-breaking guide, Dr Wentz shares her signature Root Cause approach to unravelling the mystery of IBS. While conventional medicine may label symptoms as 'IBS' and prescribe medication, Wentz reveals how this diagnosis is often a catch-all term that overlooks underlying imbalances that can be identified, addressed and resolved.
