Professor Peter Gibson, MD, Monash University, Victoria, Australia who is presenting this year's The American Journal of Gastroenterology lecture, will address how food components can induce or trigger functional gut symptoms, and how food choice based upon those food components can lead to global improvement in such symptoms in patients with functional bowel disorders, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), one of the most prevalent digestive conditions. Professor Gibson, along with Susan Shepherd, the dietitian who is the force behind FODMAPS, will be available for media interviews in the ACG Press Room Chesapeake G-H immediately following Professor Gibson's presentation.
