However, on the subject of IBS, have you tried a half teaspoon of peppermint extract in a glass of water twice daily? I’ve known several diagnosed IBS sufferers who have experienced extended relief with that.

Treated celiac disease patients showed decreased levels of Bifidobacterium bifidum, as well as a reduction in the diversity of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These results most closely resembled those achieved by healthy adults. It would seem, then, that a gluten-free diet helps to balance and normalize intestinal bacteria populations.

Genetic.
