Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Many people and physicians use the term irritable bowel to describe just
about any digestive problem that is not easily treated. Dr. Penniston
discourages this as it adds confusion to an already complex condition. This
practice would be similar to calling every patient that has longstanding
fatigue an iron deficiency problem. This is convenient and easy to do but
not likely accurate. Likewise, there are many, many reasons for having
digestive problems and until the other causes have been ruled out it is most
likely inaccurate to call the problem irritable bowel. Few physicians have
the experience and knowledge to accurately diagnose the common causes for
digestive upset including irritable bowel, let alone treat them. As a result
of treating thousands of patients with digestive problems (some with and
some without irritable bowel) for over 25 years, Dr. Penniston has developed
effective techniques to diagnose and treat this condition.
Because of his successes treating irritable bowel, Dr. Penniston has written
a book on this subject for both physicians and patients called, Fibromyalgia,
Chronic Fatigue and Irritable Bowel: Treating Symptoms Treating Cause. He
also has a website devoted specifically to irritable bowel and the closely
related conditions: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome,
interstitial cystitis, multiple chemical sensitivity, neurally mediated
hypotension, restless legs syndrome and vulvodynia/pelvic pain syndromes. If
