I take medication twice daily for IBS symptoms and I have good days as well as bad days. I try to avoid eating red meat more than twice a week and steer away from raw onion whenever possible. Bread causes problems too. But I've started to eat red grapes earlier in the morning before taking my first 2 tablets, followed half an hour later by blueberries, trail mix seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, cranberry and raisins) served with bio yoghurt. It helps, but some days it goes haywire for no apparent reason and I feel like crap, uncomfortable, bloated and irritable. I've also started recently to take small shots of ginger, turmeric and orange juice mixed with a dash of lemon juice. If nothing else, they add a bit of sparkle to my day.

At Last! reseach on women health. Good articles but there are 2 gaps in them, I think; 1) If statistics show that significant differences amongst XX and XY some genetics may be involved. 2) Hormons make a part of it but necessarily the target. We all have same hormones at a different level. Thank you for sharing and research
