Latest Research
This study reviewed the efficacy of several different treatment options for IBS.
“The highest efficacy is currently found for peppermint oil, followed by psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological interventions and probiotics. Traditional antispasmodic therapy has a moderate efficacy, whereas the list of (partially failed or canceled) motility affecting drugs yielded weak clinical results, and therapies by bran and fibers are of no value in IBS.”
