Johannah Ruddy, MEd and Douglas Drossman, MD talk with Brian Lacy, MD from the Mayo Clinic about probiotics, prebiotics and the gut microbiome. What's all the hype about these supplements and can they be effective for patients with IBS??? Join us to find out!

Douglas Drossman, MD and Johannah Ruddy, MEd, co- authors of the new book Gut Feelings: Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction and the Patient/Doctor Relationship discuss the themes of the book written for both patients and providers with a live virtual audience.
