Do you know of anything in the medical literature that says that
helicobacter and guardia can cause the symptoms of IBS?  How do
these "Young Turks" go about looking for these organisms?  My
mother has IBS like symptoms and I would VERY much like to find a
cure for her.  Thank you in advance for all replies.
