IBS can occur later in life, particularly after a bout of food borne illness. Dr. Mark Pimentel’s group at Cedar Sinai in LA–has done much of the work looking at this clinical perspective. Celiac disease, an immune mediated condition that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals can occur at any age as well. In order for the blood testing for celiac disease to be accurate, testing for celiac should be completed before starting the low FODMAP elimination –which is not a gluten free diet–but minimizes wheat, the main source of gluten in the diet. So, the answer to your question is yes–and going to a doctor to be evaluated is the smart thing to do.

I’m 33 and have had 3 kids, and I’m beginning to wonder if my digestive system is messed up (my main issue is bloating and gas, going to a dr soon). Does that happen, or is it something you grow up having?

Hi Lauren, I find Iberogast works well for many of my SIBO patients–not sure the chamomile is a problem in this form.

Quick question – What are your thoughts on Iberogast? It was recommended that I start taking it before meals and before bed as part of SIBO treatment, but it looks like it contains chamomile which is high FODMAP, right? Thanks!
