Scientists find a new cause of irritable bowel syndrome

Posted in neuroscience

In a study from Cedars-Sinai, scientists suggest irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the most common gastrointestinal disorder, may be caused by gravity. They explain that IBS—and many other conditions—could result from the body’s inability to manage gravity. The hypothesis describes how the intestines, spine, heart, nerves and brain evolved to manage gravity.
