Herb: 20's females with concurrent "IBS" & premenstrual disorder, PMD, suggest concern for Hypermobility Syndrome, wherein these functional disorders are often expressed; also associated with the Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Orthodox therapies include Bentyl (dicyclomine) for former & estrogen for latter. Alternative therapy often helpful for both is medicinal cannabis; the sativa variety.
