Oh but I must. Again, you are mistaken. Here is the email reply from Mr. Carper:Well, first of all, my web site is about lactose intolerance. I do have a fewreferences there to IBS, because many people do have both, although the details are still not well understood. But the vast majority ofthe 100+ pages are about LI. And a quick check will show that they are updated regularly.I put up the Research section as an experiment. I read as much of the medicalresearch on LI as I can find in my local medical school library.It turns out that it's not a field in which not much changes over time. The basics arewell understood and most of the articles are technical ones that would bore the socks off most readers. I now put any real news into the news pages.I know there are newer articles in the journals on LI and IBS. I myself haveboth so I follow the research closely. I've been thinking of expanding my coverage of IBS. But it's a relatively low priority compared with just keeping up with all the other changes.If you want information about LI, I believe my site is the best there is. If you want information on IBS you need to go to an IBS page. I give links to a good many of them.And if you know of a site that has authoritative information on the connection between LI and IBS, please let me know.Best,Steve CarperSo you see, Fluxxy Boy, once again you have opened your mouth and stuck your foot right in it. Someday you will learn that you're not always right.

Since I discovered this board nearly a year ago, I've been patiently waiting for Flux to describe for us how he copes with the symptoms of IBS. Y'know, EXPLAIN why he is so frequently on this board telling the rest of us that weren't idiotic believers of myths, why he is the self-proclaimed "myth buster", as well as why there he has a stack medical journals in his john.Now that my hair has turned a silvery gray, I will relenquish my hope that Flux actually has IBS. I will now direct the energy of my vigil to Fluxxy sharing his day-to-day trials with lactose intolerance. This approach worked for Ghandi, right?
