This is a truely, truely insightful talk! The non-IgE allergies part is definitely needed for all diagnossi for IBS patients. IBS doctors would say you don't have allergy, period ans IgE test is negative......But you suffered clearly by eating something particularly.
My daughter was diagnosed with ehlers-danlos, she suffers several problems but here in Brazil there is no specialist, and if there is, it is not for the poor. every time she goes to the doctor she is treated like a virus. My dream is for her to have adequate treatment and respect in times of pain and fatigue

Unfortunately that is in most places from what I have heard. It seems that the UK is doing a lot of work over there now and some doctors in the US as well.

That's really neat! I have something akin to IBS though never formally diagnosed and I honestly have no idea what my digestive system is going to do from day to day. It could be fine for nearly a week and then I'll have diarrhea or lots of cramping and urgency out of the blue. Something like what you mentioned that can look for hidden allergies or sensitivities would be great.
This sounds so amazing. So hopeful!. I have been sitting here all week in tears about my EDS issues. My stomach issues being only second to my pain. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for your time also. Wonderful presentation
This is really interesting and helpful. I'm interested in learning more about this. Also, in patients with these ultra long transit times without degradation of nervous tissue, have you had success with bile acids like oxbile, tudca or taurine?
Thank you so much for this valuable information.
Is there a way to get in touch with Dr. Pace to see if she’s accepting new patients?
Hello, the manufacturer of the smart pill discontinued its production, what would be a alternative test for intestinal and colonic motility if there is no more wireless motility capsule?
WHERE THE HECK IS DR PACE??? IS SHE ALIVE???

I’ve got the SAME EXACT CONCERN!!! Is she in private practice? Where? What’s the deal? I am a total fan of her work and line of thought!! I was trying to put funds together to take my daughter to see her at Metrodora… but once she left - I don’t want another doctor but her! She is ON TARGET with the problems my daughter has! I’m trying to find her too!!
Is Dr. Pace no longer with Metrodora? I would like to see her or a GI specialist with her level of unique knowledge, as it relates to CTD and these problems. Thank you
