[edit] External Links

I see no value in including links for the sake of including links. This article cannot afford to foster anecdotal "feel good" information. It really doesn't help to validate these illnesses.

Response: What kind of person would deny IBS as legitimate? Must be a poorly informed, uneducated one. It is a syndrome, not an illness, by the way.

There is an individual which continues to add:

Help for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: no clinical studies, commercial in nature, somebodies personal opinion, etc... etc.... This is not an unbiased site which is providing non-anecdotal information. If you ask me this has more to do with selling product than really helping people.

No point in continuing this. Removing the External links Ibsgroup 22:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
