About the Author

Dr. Dahlman's Experience with IBS:

Since this is my story, I don't find it all that interesting, but it's amazing how few antibiotics it takes to unbalance your gastrointestinal system. 
I had managed for over 20 years to avoid the use of antibiotics.  A few years ago, I found that I had rubbed some skin off my elbow on the arm of a chair.  A couple of days later, within a couple of hours, my elbow swelled to the size of a golf ball.  Diagnosis: Staph infection.   
Considering the size, pain and heat associated with my elbow, I decided to take an antibiotic.  I didn't want to mess around with an elbow that hurt and got in the way a lot and I knew I could probably mediate any damage the antibiotics did to my beneficial bacterial population  by taking the same probiotic I recommend to my patients.
A few weeks after the course of antibiotics, the problems started.  First with some gurgling noises and then quickly turned to diarrhea.  There were some stomach aches and lots of gas and bloating.  I had to go 4-5 times a day and I can still remember leaving a hotel in Chicago to run the Chicago Marathon and having to turn my car around in the parking lot so I could go up to my hotel room and go to the bathroom before I got to the starting line. 
I put myself on the treatment plan that I was using for all my patients.  The plan that you are reading about in this book is actually a more complete plan due to what I learned through my own experience.  Time kept going by and I couldn't seem to shake the problem. Without going into the boring details, I began looking at the bacterial levels differently and I interpreted lab results differently.
Prior to my experience with IBS, many of my patients were getting better, but not all.  Now, because of the refinement of my IBS program, all the patients who allow me to walk them through the step-by-step plan outlined in this book will see a complete elimination of any uncomfortable symptoms associated with their gastrointestinal tract.
