DOCTOR'S VIEWS ARCHIVE
Topic: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), June 2000
Dr. Lee:
A viewer with IBS was told by her doctor to increase fiber
in her diet and also to cut out caffeine, what is your
opinion on that?
Dr. Marks:
Well, with respect to caffeine there are no
studies that show that caffeine has an effect on irritable bowel, so I
can't really comment there.
