Another Duh! Research Discovery :roll:

Post by tex »

Hi All,

It appears that American researchers don't have the market cornered on ridiculous research conclusions, because a group of Italian researchers has published a report that is probably best summed up by the description, "underwhelming".

They have concluded (believe it or not), that kids who have "IBS", have a much higher risk of being diagnosed with celiac disease, than those who do not have IBS. Well Duh! :lol:
MONDAY, April 21, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Children suffering from irritable bowel syndrome are four times more likely than other kids to have a condition called celiac disease -- an allergy to gluten -- Italian researchers report.
Well, guess what . . . with an average time from the first onset of symptoms until an official diagnosis of celiac disease is determined, taking approximately 9.7 years in this country, that's kind of a pathetic discovery, isn't it?

And get a load of the ridiculous title of this article:

Bowel Illnesses Sometimes Coincide in Kids

So they're suggesting that kids can have both IBS and celiac disease concurrently. :lol: As if IBS actually exists. I reckon they haven't read the editorial by Professor Habba, yet.

At least the researchers didn't conclude that there is no connection, so maybe it wasn't a total waste of money. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
