Saddening statistics on Irritable Bowel Syndrome in youth

A recent article reports that 6 percent of middle schoolers and 14 percent of high schoolers suffer from IBS(irritable bowel syndrome)–such shocking and unfortunate figures. The only good news that the article is reporting on a recent study showing that low dose antidepressants improve IBS symptoms for these youth, something that’s already been found for adults. This just serves as another reminder that medical knowledge is constantly expanding, and it’s important to make use of medical advances that doctors can offer, in addition to health management techniques like using a food an health journal.
