I often wondered this in the past myself Karl, since I think most IBS presents itself with neurological symptoms, mainly spasaming which of course triggers the stooling or lack of peristalsis and constipation as a result. Other than give you an antispasmotic, which GI docs give anyway, I don't know what else they would do for you; unless they find another underlying condition. I actually only thought about going to one after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, since I believe this to be a neuro-muscular condition as well. I also think that something may be triggering that neurological response. Of course who ever figures out just what that is, and comes up with the cure as a result, will be famous and loved by many. Whatever you decide Karl, good luck to you and let us know. I guess I didn't help you much , but I will also be interested in what others have to say who have been to one.------------------
