The serotonin connection in ingestive disorders in women with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
This study compared women with lrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and women without IBS, with regards to characteristics of indigestion disturbances, as measured by the Eating Disorder Inventory-2. A comparison between the two groups was also made of their blood-serotonin leveb. A sample group (N = 30)...
