Could psilocybin help treat IBS? "A new study investigates" A new study is actively investigating whether psilocybin could help treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), particularly in patients with treatment-resistant forms of the condition. Dr. Erin E. Mauney at Massachusetts General Hospital is leading the first clinical trial to examine psilocybin's effects on IBS. This pioneering research aims to understand how psilocybin modulates "interoception" (the brain's perception of internal bodily sensations) and influences gut-brain communication pathways. Key aspects of the study and the rationale behind it include: Addressing Treatment-Resistant IBS : The study focuses on a significant population of IBS patients who haven't found relief from conventional treatments. Gut-Brain Connection : IBS is understood to have a strong gut-brain component, with links to mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. The study hypothesizes that IBS may result fr...

You can eat a larger quantity of fiber-rich foods without consuming excessive calories. Reduced Absorption of Calories: Fiber can interfere with the absorption of some calories from...
