An article distributed by HealthDay looks at using cognitive behavioral therapy to treat gastrointestinal symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and quotes Jeffrey M. Lackner assistant professor of medicine and a behavioral medicine specialist. "For some people, medications and dietary changes are the perfect match, but most of our patients -- the great majority of patients -- have not responded to medications and dietary changes," he said. The article was picked up by the Asbury Park Press.
