Sue Luscombe is a Registered Dietitian who I’ve mentioned before as she’s done a huge amount of work with CFS and in getting good, evidence-based educational materials circulated. She gave us some interesting things to consider about Irritatble Bowel Syndrome in a Study Day yesterday. Dr Imran Aziz (Gastroenterology Clincial Research Fellow) also told us a few things to look out for and gave an excellent overview of the condition.
