enhancement to its inFoods® IBS platform. US consumers can now
seamlessly order the inFoods® IBS test directly from infoodsibs.com
and consequently collect a sample in the comfort of their home. As
part of this ordering process, a licensed physician remotely

A New Era in IBS Treatment with At-Home
Convenience. The InFoods IBS test provides a breakthrough
tool for individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) who seek
to manage symptoms such as bloating and gastrointestinal pain. The
inFoods® IBS test offers a personalized and non-invasive solution,
helping patients to manage their condition naturally by identifying
foods that may trigger their symptoms. Now, patients can access the
inFoods IBS test from the comfort of their home with physician
oversight, offering a more convenient pathway to health management
helping IBS patients to regain control of their life.
The inFoods® IBS test is a groundbreaking advancement in the
personalized treatment of IBS. Unlike IBS treatments that rely on
medications to reduce symptoms, inFoods® IBS identifies specific
foods that may trigger the patient´s symptoms allowing for tailored
dietary changes that can reduce both bloating and gastrointestinal
pain, encouraging patients to manage their condition naturally by
avoiding the problematic foods identified by the inFoods IBS test.
The test uses a patented technology to detect personal food
sensitivities, helping patients achieve significant symptom relief
by removing those trigger foods from their diet.
A recent double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter
clinical study—conducted at prestigious institutions including Mayo
Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (a Harvard Medical
School teaching hospital), the University of Michigan, and Houston
Methodist Hospital—demonstrated that the inFoods® IBS test
significantly improved key IBS symptoms, such as Abdominal Pain
Intensity (API) and bloating. Patients in the treatment group
experienced significant symptom improvements but without the side
effects commonly associated with drug therapies.
IBS: A Widespread Condition with High Economic
Impact. Irritable Bowel Syndrome affects 1 in 20
Americans, according to the American College of Gastroenterology,
contributing to an estimated $10 billion in annual direct medical
costs. Despite the high prevalence and economic burden, many
individuals still struggle to find effective treatments due to the
complex nature of the disorder.
Biomerica’s InFoods® IBS platform offers new hope for millions
of IBS sufferers by providing a tailored approach to treatment that
addresses the root causes of their symptoms. To learn more or to
seamlessly order the test with physician oversight, visit

About inFoods® The inFoods IBS

blood sample. Instead of difficult to manage broad dietary
restrictions, physicians can now use the inFoods IBS information to
make targeted, patient-specific recommendations about trigger foods

as pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. The inFoods IBS test
and clinical outcomes were studied at several prominent centers
including Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc. -
a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital, Houston Methodist
Hospital, and the University of Michigan. The clinical results for
improvement in the Abdominal Pain Intensity (API) responder
endpoint of >30% reduction in pain, for IBS patients in the
treatment diet arm was greater than patients in the placebo diet
arm (p-value of 0.0246). The improvement for patients in the
treatment arm versus the placebo arm is considered clinically
significant and for certain endpoints is similar and, in some
cases, better than the current drugs in the market. Further
