The blind spot of classical gastroenterology Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is today one of the most common reasons for referral to gastroenterologists worldwide. This functional disorder is accompanied by chronic pain, flatulence, bloating and motility disorders (diarrhea or constipation), which significantly reduce the quality of life of patients.

Bloating, heaviness after eating, irregular bowel movements, or constant abdominal discomfort — these problems are faced by almost every second person. The classic reaction of a modern person is to drink digestive enzymes or a pill for cramps and keep running.

The team at Ediens has been studying the connection between the gut microbiome and human health for several years. One of the most common complaints we hear from our clients is bloating after eating.
