Invited Talks
Cross-Cultural Aspects of Functional Bowel Disorders
Drs. Charles and Mary-Joan Gerson were invited faculty at the bi-annual meeting of the International Foundation for Functional Gastro-intestinal Disorders (IFFGD), held in April 2009. The IFFGD is a lay organization that provides excellent support and information for patients with functional GI illness, and it sponsors this meeting where most of the leading IBS experts participate.
Drs. Gerson’s topic for discussion was cross-cultural aspects of functional bowel disorders, related to an eight country IBS survey they organized with two research publications, and the cross-cultural columns in the FBG newsletter that they edit.
