Personally i don't think it's real.

Or if it exist and produce gas,perhaps only IBSers suffer from it.

i had never heard of that, and it really makes no sense to me.
It sounds like it is a problem of the bacteria being out of whack, that can happen when you take antibiotics, but then that kills them, so i suppose it could happen.

Hi.

The thing is IBSers communauty has been pounded by these infos in the last years.
Treatment dosen't seems to works for us or at all.

But still,there is data on it in medical.
