Summary

  • I am a board-certified dermatologist practicing in the Greater Philadelphia area and the developer of IBS-80, an extensive series of food patch tests available by prescription to physicians and other medical providers, that can identify specific food allergies that trigger irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. In September 2020, I started a randomized controlled trial to further investigate the role of Type 4 food allergies in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (www.ibsfoodstudy.com). Separate from my dermatology practice, I perform this testing at the IBS-80 Testing Center. Please see the posted videos and publications related to this work.
