Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) March 5, 2009 — Estimates indicate that up to 20 percent of North Americans, possibly as high as 30 per cent in some countries, cope with the painful and debilitating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). According to the American College of Gastroenterology, all patients with symptoms of IBS should be tested for celiac disease, a lifelong hereditary disorder which has some of the same symptoms.
Celiac disease can make IBS symptoms worse. In some cases, it might even be the cause.
