People with celiac often have IBS and are often misdiagnosed with IBS. [1] They are not disjoint problems and often difficult to differentiate. It seems really reckless to offer this as a treatment without requiring people to consult a physician for a proper diagnosis.

Nerva is for people have been diagnosed with IBS, not for people who have self-diagnosed themselves. I definitely agree, many conditions present similar symptoms like IBD, celiac disease etc so it’s important people are properly diagnosed before attempting any management options including the low FODMAP diet and GDH.

Nerva isn’t a treatment, it’s a program that teaches people self-regulation skills and relaxation exercises that can help them self-manage their symptoms.
