Hello Everyone!

Here's an interesting concept - eating worms (parasites) to stress the gut
in just the right way to produce a healing immune response.

They say it works for IBS - Searching the ListServe archives show a jump
this year in making the celiac/ IBS connection.

Below is a snip from the 2/29/04 post by John Kernohan detailiing IBS
symptoms:

* Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) has been reported to affect at least 15%
the population. In fact, it is so common that surveys reveal about half of
the people attending hospital out-patient departments with digestive
problems are suffering from IBS.  Symptoms can include: abdominal pain and
spasm, diarrhea, constipation, bloa
ting, flatulence, incontinence, nausea,
belching and vomiting.  Secondary symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety
and depression.

What is the difference between IBS & celiac?
